N.B.:
THIS CODE IS SPECIFICALLY FOR ERASMUS STUDENTS who need a grade for this course.
The course is only open to DALC incoming Erasmus students. Please note: priority goes to DALC MA students who need the credits to graduate, others may join if there is space.
Please note: students must enrol in the course by week two of the semester. Students attempting to enrol on week
3 or later will not be accepted.

DESCRIPTION:
This course is primarily an MA course, it is offered every winter semester and is a core requirement for studies specialising in Irish Studies. If MA places are not filled, BA students in year 3 of study (as elective/optional course). Erasmus students please note that this course requires advanced fluency in English: reading and writing.

The course will draw upon the rich tradition of Anglo-Irish writing, focusing on a variety of writers primarily from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In particular we will examine writers who have worked with humour and horror, in comic and gothic genres. One of the aims of this course is to investigate the subversive potential of the genres these writers used. Until recently many of these authors were considered as part of an English literary tradition, however we will be exploring the potential for doubleness in their work and identities as Anglo and Irish.
