Discover the work of the major Irish writers of the early twentieth century including W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, Sean O'Casey and James Joyce. Consider these writers in relation to more recent fiction writers, including Elizabeth Bowen, Mary Lavin and Edna O'Brien. The emphasis throughout this subject is on situating the writers within their historical and cultural contexts. We also examine the role of Irish literature as a vehicle for articulating distinctive Irish identities. The major focus is on the Irish Literary Revival, the Anglo-Irish literary and dramatic traditions and the formation of the modern Irish state (1880-1940).
