Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
A final written examination.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
These lectures are intended to give students an overview of the development of Irish national identity in a literature written in English, the language of the Ireland's historical adversary. It is hoped that this can enrich understanding of both literature and the concept of nationalism.

Reading list
The works to be read are for the most part widely available in print or on the internet, and some poems will be made available in class circulars or handouts. A good general reader, recommended for this class, is Murphy and MacKillop, Irish Literature: A Reader, which should be purchased second-hand on the web (it is very inexpensive).

We will be reading works by Jonathan Swift, Oliver Goldsmith, R. B. Sheridan, Maria Edgeworth, J. C. Mangan, Samuel Ferguson, Oscar Wilde, W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, Lady Gregory, Sean O'Casey, James Joyce and Flann O'Brien, among others, with particular attention to Irish self-consciousness and the strains of nationalist sentiment. My own theoretical orientation is (mildly) post-colonialist, but I welcome other approaches to reading literature.
