Course objectives
This course will attempt to provide a more detailed introduction to the past and the present of Ireland, north and south, as well as its relation to the larger island lying close to it, with which the history and culture of its peoples have been closely and often tragically intertwined. The course, as its title suggests, will include a particular emphasis on history and consideration of its often violently contested nature. There will also be a great deal of literary input, particularly with respect to twentieth century Irish poetry, drama and fiction and the exceptional creativity of its writers. A substantial part of the course will also consider the causes and development of 'the troubles' in Northern Ireland.
