  • This 3-week 6-credit program introduces students to the flowering of modern Irish literature, including fiction, poetry, and drama. Students will read and discuss humorous, irreverent, highly political, and often profound works by writers such as James Joyce, W. B. Yeats, J. M. Synge, Sean O’Casey, Augusta Gregory, Eva Gore-Booth, Katharine Tynan, Oscar Wilde, Maeve Brennan, and Elizabeth Bowen. In addition, we will visit key Dublin literary and historical sites such as the Dublin Writers Museum, the Parnell Monument, The James Joyce Centre, Trinity College Library, and the Abbey Theater. We will have a day trip to beautiful County Wicklow and a 3 day trip to the west of Ireland, including Galway and Sligo. And finally, we will spend a few evenings at Dublin and Galway pubs listening to seisún, or traditional Irish music sessions. Students will write analytical, reflective, and/or creative papers. We will be staying on the beautiful campus of Ireland’s most distinguished university, Trinity College Dublin.
