What you'll do
Please join us for this wonderful literature programme on Zoom. We will journey through over a century of Irish writing, taking particular note of the development of Irish writing through this period of enormous change. With in-depth videos, high-level support readings, excerpts, newspaper pieces and an in-depth discussion each week with an expert tutor, this will be a very rewarding, enjoyable and productive programme. Ideal for those with a keen interest in literature, Ireland and those contemplating a future in academic study. With several written assignments throughout and a final essay project (all optional!) which will receive expert feedback, this course represents a uniquely accessible opportunity to experience a university-level module from the comfort of your home. Please do get in touch to ask any questions.This session reading list:This carefully structured course is a general introduction to critically reading some of Ireland’s best-known literature in the context of a progressing Ireland. We will begin in the 20th century with short stories by James Plunkett, Flann O’Brien’s At Swim-Two-Birds, and Edna O’Brien’s The Country Girls. We take in John Banville’s The Book of Evidence and then move to contemporary literature through Mike McCormack’s Solar Bones, Claire-Louise Bennett’s Pond, Sara Baume’s Spill Simmer Falter Wither, and Sally Rooney’s Normal People.By the end of the course, participants will have read and discussed a number of Ireland’s authors and critically analysed their themes. Irish Literature is an exciting and highly enjoyable new course, which would be ideal for the literary enthusiast or anyone preparing to study English at the third level.
