In this course we will explore Irish literature and culture from the Celtic Renaissance in the early twentieth century to the Celtic Tiger of the early twenty-first. Readings will trace Ireland's transformation from an inward-looking agricultural nation to one of the most globalized countries in the world. Recurring themes will include the status of the Church, changing gender roles, sectarian conflict, and Ireland's relation to the world.
