The early part of this period, following the late 19th c. Celtic Twilight, is known as The Irish Renaissance. This period saw a resurgence of Irish Nationalism that manifested itself in several ways, some of which were renewed interests in the Irish language, literature and culture. The latter part of the period is marked by the emergence of Ireland as a postcolonial republic under partition (post 1922), leading up to the ongoing sectarian conflict we still refer to today as “The Troubles.” More recently in the 1990’s, Irish writing reflects Ireland’s entrance into the European market economy, earning the epithet “The Celtic Tiger.” The works we will read are all part of the Anglo-Irish tradition (written or translated into English).
