Kurzbeschrieb

Transatlantic Migration in Irish Literature 
In autumn we read and discuss classic and contemporary fiction of two Irish authors who both describe the struggle of young women leaving their home for a better life across the Atlantic - “Eveline”, a short story by James Joyce in “Dubliners” and “Brooklyn” by Colm Toibin.
Unfolding the Past 
In winter we read two powerful, brilliant and small works of contemporary Irish literature written by Claire Keegan “Small things like these” and “Foster”

Kursinhalte

We compare and contrast the novels, analyse their main characters, the setting, the language and take a close look at the historical context. Furthermore, we discuss the changes in young women’s situations today.
