COURSE DESCRIPTION

Ireland’s traditional image as a “green-meadowed” island situated on the edge of Europe and its current position as one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gasses per capita in the EU make it a questionable site of pastoral myth. As it reflects the nation’s complex cultural and linguistic identity informed by a post-colonial mix of victimhood and guilt, Irish poetry appears to be particularly well suited for eco-critical analysis. In this course, we will read works by Irish and Northern-Irish poets of the last one hundred years and explore them in the light of a changing climate and the ongoing archipelagic as well as transatlantic poetic connections.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT

Credit requirements include regular attendance (max. 2 unexplained absences per semester), participation in the in-class discussion based on the reading of all assigned texts and preparation of any preliminary questions. If you cannot attend more than twice or attend without having done the required reading, you will be asked to provide your response in writing. You will also be asked to submit an essay of 2500–3000 words on a topic related to the course’s subject matter. To get credits for the class as well as graded paper, you will need to submit a longer and thoroughly researched paper of 3500 to 4000 words.

The topic of the essay must be consulted with the instructor by the end of the course. The word limit includes footnotes but excludes the title page and bibliographical references.

Essays must include full bibliographical references and footnotes (included in the word count) for all works cited or paraphrased (see the UALK Chicago Guidelines on the department website or the course site on Moodle for details). Emphasis will be placed on depth and sophistication of argument, and upon the component of original research. Essays must be presented with attention to correct spelling and stylistics. Plagiarism (including essays produced or partly produced by AI) will not be tolerated and will result in a fail grade.
