Description:
Students in The Irish Revival will read Irish fairy legends, poetry, drama, and autobiography from the period when Irish writing was most inspired by national issues (c.1890 – c. 1916). Moving from fairies to revolutionaries, from the rural west of Ireland to the city of Dublin, we will study W. B. Yeats’s Poems, J. M. Synge’s The Aran Islands, Lady Gregory’s Visions and Beliefs in the West of Ireland, and James Joyce’s Dubliners, as well as a couple of revolutionary autobiographies. Two authors from Ireland will visit our class and give lectures on their special interests.
