Modern Irish Authors: A Remarkable Abundance


ID : 2004   

« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Ireland has been known for its great writers, from Jonathan Swift to W.B. Yeats, James Joyce, Samuel Becket, Seamus Heaney, J.M. Synge, and George Bernard Shaw, among many others. Four have won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and six have won the Booker Prize. Today that tradition is carried on by a growing list of excellent modern Irish writers. We will read and discuss one book each by four of these: Niall Williams, Paul Lynch, Claire Keegan, and Caoilinn Hughes. We’ll also examine the social, political, and economic environment that shaped their writing. Hopefully encountering these authors will provide a useful introduction to Irish literature today and spark your interest in exploring more Irish writers and their books.
