20th Century Irish Language Poetry;--From Pearse to Gearoid Mac Lochlainn

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This course is what it says it is, a study of 20th Century Irish Language Poetry, from Padraig Pearse, to Gearoid Mac Lochlainn. Each week we take a different poet and study their aims, techniques, and what they offer to Irish Poetry as a 20th century artistic medium. A knowledge of Irish is not essential, as we will be using translations, though always with reference to the originals. But it helps.
