| Description: In this first-year seminar, we will read Irish poetry from 1798 to the contemporary moment, examining how a variety of poets engage with urgent questions of gender and nation as well as the gendered tropes of nationalism. We will pay particular attention to interventions by feminist and queer poets and Irish poets of color who resist and in some cases revolutionize dominant poetic traditions and forms. Poets will include Lady Jane Wilde, James Clarence Mangan, W.B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde, Seamus Heaney, Eavan Boland, Nuala Ni Domhnaill, Mary Dorsey, Doireann Ní Ghríofa, Nyaradzo Masunda, and Sinead Morrisey. |
