Ireland is a fascinating island harbouring two states. Over the last thirty years, among other developments, it has witnessed a peace agreement many thought impossible and an unparalleled economic boom and bust. In the twentieth century, no less than four Nobel Prizes in Literature have been awarded to Irish writers, and the number of contemporary Irish artists that have achieved world fame is truly astonishing for an island that holds little more than 6.2 million people. In this seminar, we will look at a range of recent literary texts (poems, a novel and a play) and two films that represent Irish culture and history in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. We will be able to discuss Irish matters with two Irish artists: playwright Marina Carr (21 Nov 2018) and filmmaker Maurice Fitzpatrick (19 Jan 2019).
