ENGL 462: Modern Irish Literature*
This course will examine Irish Literature written from the late 1890s to the 1950s. Beginning with Oscar Wilde and ending with Samuel Beckett, we will explore how Irish authors respond to major cultural upheavals during the time period, including both World Wars and Ireland’s struggle for independence. Central to this class will be the reading of James Joyce’s Ulysses, which we will read as we walk in the footsteps of its main characters.
