ENG 781 - Irish Literature

Although the focus of the course will be on literature written in English by Irish authors during the last two hundred years, some study will also be made of Irish literature in translation, including the work of contemporary poets who write in both Irish and English. Among the writers to be considered are Maria Edgeworth, W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, Sean O’Casey, James Joyce, Brian Friel, Seamus Heaney, and Eavan Boland.
