M. Coyle A study of Irish writers since the late nineteenth century. Eager to shake off colonial influences, Irish writers have sought to define a distinctly Irish literary tradition. This project characteristically worked by turning to history older than anything English, either to the forgotten writings of Irish antiquity or to elements from Classical antiquity. What these writers made is nothing less than our modern sense of Ireland; and Ireland itself figures as perhaps their most important literary creation of all - an all-encompassing palimpsest of history kept present in the very landscape and its monuments. ENGL 329 ordinarily runs as an extended study course. (Post-1800 course.)

K. Page Narratives by African, African American, and African Caribbean women writers. The focus of this course is the concept of the African diaspora with its broad cultural, social, political, and economic implications. Students explore how these texts represent women's experience cross-culturally. How does the condition of each nation-state, with its attendant hierarchy of race, ethnicity, class, and gender shape the (dis)continuities in these texts Ultimately, they question whether these narratives can cohere under the rubric of African/diaspora women's literature. (Post-1800 course.)
