Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The Irish Literary Revival (also called the Irish Literary Renaissance/Celtic Twilight) was a flowering of Irish literary talent in the late 19th and early 20th century. The literary movement was associated with a revival of interest in Ireland's Gaelic heritage and the growth of Irish nationalism from the middle of the 19th century.
The aim of this course is to study in detail a period of Irish history through its cultural and specifically literary production, across a range of genres and contexts. Its secondary aims are to understand the concept of Revival and how it might apply to Ireland at this pivotal moment in its modern history and to begin to theorise the relationship between acts of writing/reading and social/political transformation. A number of exemplary texts from this period will be dealt with in more detail.
An extensive description is available on the course's Moodle page (course booklet).
