Description:

"ENG 20440 Reading the Story of Ireland: Irish Literature in English at UCD; In this module students will engage with Irish writing in English. In class we will consider a number of approaches to the study of Irish literature, broadly structured around three core ideas / themes: the condition of cultural `in-betweenness, recurrent notions of national revival, and the relationship between gender and nation. Drawing widely on post-colonial, feminist and cultural materialist critical methodologies, the module will encourage students to think about alternative ways of configuring `the story of Ireland'. On completion of this module students should be able to: 1. Demonstrate a critical understanding of a wide range of the individual texts on this course 2. Situate the literary writing on this course in its national, historical, social and political contexts. 3. Make comparisons and contrasts between texts from the different Irish writers studied Hrs/Semester"
