ENLT 239 - (CL,D) The Irish Short Story

3 cr.

(Area B-3)

For two centuries, Irish short story writers have represented the comedy and tragedy of Irish experience and simultaneously have fashioned the medium into one of our most flexible and innovative art forms. In historical and critical contexts, we examine the work of four authors, emphasizing Joyce, O’Connor, O’Faolain, and O’Flaherty.
