Focusing on the artist and female creativity, the course will also look at such themes as, among others, the family, the mother-daughter relationship, nationalism, masculinity, empire, Northern Ireland, the environment, romance, and education. The emphasis will be on novels and short stories as we try to reach a conclusion on whether there is a distinctive tradition of Irish women's writing.

EN 3480 Community and Contemporary Irish Fiction at TCD; Representations of community and belonging in contemporary Irish fiction are often read as though they were essentially the nation writ small. In this one-semester seminar, however, we will examine contemporary Irish novelists whose work resists such readings by engaging with community in diverse ways that fit less neatly (or not at all) within the nation's rhetorical framework. In support of this focus, we will emphasize a specific generation: writers who came of age in the 1960s and after, amidst Ireland's ambivalent embrace of economic and cultural internationalization. We will also examine a broader set of relations between literature and community, including critical debates about an opposition between modernization and community in contemporary Ireland.
