In
this course we’ll be looking at some of the most important fictional works by
Irish women writers that span the period from the beginning of the Irish Free
State (the twenties) to the turn of the 21st century.
Irish women writers were marginalized for much of the 20th century
which was clearly reflected in the controversial Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing (1991). This course will mostly
focus on the ways in which 20th century Irish women writers articulate the repressive
Catholic dogma which heavily impacted on the shaping of woman's identity throughout
the last century. How the selected authors tackle female sexuality, the ideal of Irish womanhood and the
female body embodied in the Virgin Mary, how they see the role of woman within the
confines of the Irish Catholicism, and to what extent their novels mirror the
period in which they were written are the main issues which lie in the focus of
the course. We’ll
be reading, analyzing and discussing the selected texts (Kate O’Brien, Edna O’Brien, Emma Donoghue, Emer Martin and others) in the context of feminist theory,
post-colonial and Irish studies etc.

This
course focuses on British novels written in the period between the end of the
Second World War and the turn of the 21st century. We will be
reading and discussing the selection of texts mostly in the light of
postmodernism, feminism, postcolonial theories and cultural studies. The course
also examines whether the term ‘British novel’ can function today as many
prominent authors are usually associated with (micro)national identity
(English / Scottish / Welsh). The issue of ‘British’ identity which turned into a
much more complex, heterogeneous and hybridized concept towards the end of the
last century (e.g. black British, Asian British, black Scottish, etc.) is also
going to be addressed. We will be analysing the chosen novels by G. Greene, J. Fowles, A. Burgess, S. Rushdie, A.S. Byatt, I. McEwan, K. Ishiguro, J. Kay, A.
Gray, J. Galloway, H, Kureishi, J.M. Coetzee, and others.
