[edit] Description from course catalog

A comparative study of poetry, fiction, and drama by three major twentieth-century writers who all grew up in Ireland but were separated by their religions, social classes, and world-views. Major issues will be the tensions between literature and politics, modernist innovation and the tradition, elite arts and popular culture, and nationalism and internationalism. Working on poems, stories and plays, students will develop fundamental techniques of close reading informed by the historical context of revolutionary Ireland. Nature of Text. Diversity, Post-1900.
