Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The troubled history of Ireland and the mystique of the ancient myth transmitted orally in folklore have also found expression in Irish literature of the 20th and 21st centuries. The seminar will focus on Irish plays, poems and short fiction from the time of Yeats to the present featuring dramatic events in the history of Ireland and addressing key issues of Irish identity and the struggle for liberation from British Rule. The texts discussed will include Thomas Murphy's The Famine (1968); Brian Friel's Translations (1980), W. B. Yeats's Deirdre (1907) and several narratives dealing with historical incidents and mythological subject matters. In addition, Ken Loach's award winning film The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006), featuring the Irish rising against the British in 1916, will be discussed as an other example rendering Ireland's troubled history.

Important notice: The "VORBESPRECHUNG", in which the basic guidelines will be provided and the topics (for the dates of presentations after 20 Nov.) will be offered for selection, will be on TUE 2 Oct., 8.30 s.t. - 10 in the Besprechungszimmer, English Department, 2nd floor.
