The role of literature as an expression of Ireland’s evolving national identity in the 19th - 21st century will be explored. Students will attend a live theatrical performance, view films, and travel to various sites of literary and historical importance in Ireland. They will be encouraged to make connections between the historical and cultural knowledge they obtain through their travel experiences and the literature they are reading. Credits: 3
