ENGL 24518 - Anglo-Irish Literature

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course examines how a series of key contemporary Irish texts interrogates the uses of the past in the construction of present-day national, regional, gendered, familial, personal and artistic identities. The theme of tension between these identities is central to the texts. The post-colonial condition, which forms a vital backdrop to understanding contemporary Irish writing, will itself be examined through the lens of alternative frameworks of interpretation, especially those enabled by feminist theory. The value of literature in contexts of cultural and political conflict will be an important focus of exploration in this lecture series.
