Literary production of the Irish Revival and from post-independence Ireland has traditionally been interpreted in terms of its antiquarian, nationalist, and post-colonial intent. As such it had often been placed in opposition to the modernist emphasis on internationalism, formal experiment, and innovation. In accord with recent development in Irish literary studies, this course looks past these apparent contradictions and explores aspects of dialogue between the forming national Irish literature and early modernism. Modernist values and thought, as we shall see, have their traceable imprints not only in Yeats’s middle and late poetry and a number of poetics emerging around the mid-20th century, but also in some of the most recent output by contemporary Irish poets. |
