ENGL 2195 - IRISH LITERARY STUDIES

Institution:

Central Wyoming College

Subject:

ENGL English

Description:

Irish Literary Studies provides a general introduction to Ireland, its literature, and its people. The course begins with the Celtic invasion of Ireland then continues to the current attempts to create peace in Northern Ireland. Along the way, this course will examine the lasting influence of the Celtic, Viking, Norman, and English invasions. The course focuses on some central questions about the relationship between politics and language, the varieties of "revolution" in Irish culture, the question of what it means to be an "Irish" writer, the relation between the Irish present and past, and what kinds of "narrative" modern Ireland needs and wishes to construct about itself.
