| Course description |
The course will explore the similarities and differences between the national revivals in the literatures of Ireland, Scotland and Wales and their relationship to modernism. The different ways in which "peripheral" literatures seek to establish their identity will be explored in the formal innovations which are adopted by writers from the three cultures. |
