ENGL 44509 - Poetry from Ireland and Britain since World War II

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

English

Description:

This course explores key issues, movements and figures in the parallel and intersecting worlds of Irish and British Poetry since World War Two. The course will examine the varying engagements by poets from the two neighbouring landmasses with issues of tradition versus modernity, external political versus internal psychic realities, art versus violence, and the gendered versus the 'neutral' consciousness. A basic prior knowledge of the chronology, backgrounds and typical concerns of the main poets in the field will be very helpful. Students are therefore advised to familiarize themselves with the two set course texts before the course begins.
