About Anglo-Irish Literature, MPhil, Graduate Diploma - at Trinity College Dublin

The course offers graduates in English or in related disciplines (e.g. history, art history, Irish Studies, a modern language) the opportunity to study the broad range of authors of Anglo-Irish literature from the 18th century to the present. It also addresses thematic aspects of the subject. The course is designed to be complete in itself but can also serve as preparation for those who may wish to proceed to further research in the field. M.Phil. students may apply for further graduate work in the School of English.

Applicants should have a good honors degree (at least an upper second or equivalent, GPA of at least 3.3). Some previous knowledge of Anglo-Irish literature is also desirable. Admission to the course is competitive due to a restricted quota.

The course consists of four elements:

  • The main authors of Anglo-Irish literature - Swift, Edgeworth, Yeats, Joyce, Beckett are studied in two weekly two-hour seminars in the Michaelmas and Hilary terms.

  • There will be a series of lectures on the contexts of Anglo-Irish literature in the Michaelmas term.

  • There is a course in Research Methods in the Michaelmas and Hilary term.

  • A number of special subjects are offered in Michaelmas and Hilary terms. These special subjects may vary from year to year according to staff availability. They have included in the past: Literature and Violence; Literary Myths of the Revival; Irish Drama and the Metropolitan Theatre; Modernism and Irish Poetry; Gothic and Fantasy Literature; Irish Fiction after Joyce; Irish Women's Writing; Cinema and Ireland. Students are required to select a special subject in Michaelmas term. In place of one of the special subjects offered in Hilary Term, students may enrol for a Creative Writing workshop which meets in Hilary term. Entry to this part of the course is based on assessment of a portfolio of the opportunity to explore the cultural and literary contexts of writing in Ireland.
