IRSH 385 James Joyce: Young Man, Dubliner
This course offers a critical examination of the early poetry and fiction of James Joyce (1882-1941), an Irish writer whose creative work has enjoyed a far-reaching cultural and literary impact. Many consider Joyce not only the most important Irish novelist of the last century, but perhaps the greatest Anglophone writer of the twentieth century. This class focuses on Joyce¿s early life and his published work up to 1916, examining his critique of the Irish Literary Revival and Dublin's Abbey Theatre while discussing his prominent role in generating the shape of literary modernism across Europe. Also studied are Joyce's reception and lasting influence over later generations of poets, writers and thinkers across the world.
