  • IRE 105: Irish Literature in Translation

It will consider the Irish language as a case study in language and colonialism: the prohibition of Irish by the English government after the fall of the Gaelic order in the 17th century, the survival of the language despite the Great Irish Famine and high emigration from Irish-speaking areas, the place of Irish language and literature in the nationalist movement at the end of the nineteenth century, and its current status in a globalized world as a working language of the European Union.
