ENG 109 - REBEL HEARTS EXPLORE IRISH LIT

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

English

Description:

We have always found the Irish to be a bit odd. They refuse to be English. These words uttered by Winston Churchill point to the tenacious character of Irish culture to be forcibly unique despite the impact of colonialism and conflict. Such an identity is fiercely present in a centuries-old body of Irish literature that appeals to a reader's sense of history, humor, revolution, and romance. From ancient Celtic mysticism to medieval folklore, political nationalism to 1:5lobal revolution, contemporary thrillers to gothic horror, ever-present humor to bleak tragedy, the Irish literary tradition canvasses all genres and forms in a way that is uniquely Irish. This course will offer students an opportunity to experience all of this in an effort to truly understand what it means to be Irish.
