ENGL 90534: British and Irish Modernism
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
This course will cover the main writers and themes of British and Irish literary modernism from c. 1914 to c. 1939. While we will be reading some of the more familiar 'English' modernists - Lawrence, Eliot, Woolf, Forster - we will also be paying attention to developments during this period in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, particularly in the realm of what we might call 'vernacular modernisms'. We will look at some work by Scots Hugh MacDiarmid and Lewis Grassic Gibbon; Welsh writers Caradoc Evans and Dylan Thomas; and, with some Joyce and Yeats, we will read Patrick Kavanagh and Flann O'Brien. Given the condensed nature of this summer course, I will expect students to similarly intensify their reading, so that the material is read well ahead of time. Participation in discussion; demonstration of close-reading ability; a final paper of fifteen pages - these will constitute the grading criteria for this course.

ENGL 90536: Joyce and Beckett
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
It has become something of a critical commonplace that Joyce fattens the novel whereas Beckett thins it, slims it down. This course reconsiders this proposition by examining the most demanding prose works of Joyce and Beckett, those which benefit most from group discussion. We will be focussing on certain chapters of Joyce's Finnegans Wake, and we'll also read the whole of Beckett's trilogy Molloy, Malone Dies, and The Unnamable. For light relief we'll look at some chapters of Joyce's Ulysses and Beckett's shorter plays. Critical works will also be assigned as appropriate. Assignments will include class presentations, regular posts to the online Concourse discussion board, and a final paper of 15-20 pages.

ENGL 90537: Modernism and Magazines
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
A study of literary modernisms in relation to the vibrant periodical culture of the early twentieth century. We will explore a variety of periodical forms dominant during the modernist period: little magazines, slicks, daily newspapers, socialist papers, feminist papers, women's magazines, papers from the African-American press and more. We will take up conversational threads that are organizing the new periodical studies: discussions of the public sphere, of the marketing of modernism, of gender and the periodical press.

ENGL 90581: Towards a World Literature: Irish Literature from Romanticism to Modernism
3.00 Credits
University of Notre Dame
This course will examine the process whereby Irish literature in the nineteenth and early twentieth century charted a path from the "national tale" of romantic fiction to the "world literature" of both the Literary Revival (associated primarily with W.B. Yeats and J.M. Synge) and the experimental modernism of Joyce. Ireland's ambivalent location as a "colony within" will be examined with a view to discussing the uneven integration of Irish culture and society into the modern world system. The relationship of Irish romanticism, Gothic literature, poetry and drama to "proto" modernities will be discussed, i.e. peripheral or vernacular modernisms traveling from the outskirts to the centre rather than the other way around. Particular emphasis will be placed on the relation of Joyce's modernism to the politics of location in an early twentieth-century Ireland on the verge of revolt. The seminar will end by relating these issues to current debates on globalization and Irish culture, as it effects literature, cinema and multi-culturalism in contemporary Ireland.
