Contemporary Literature
21L.488 · Literature · Undergraduate · Spring 2003
Prof. John Hildebidle
This semester, Contemporary Literature (21L.488) deals with Irish literature, a subject broad and deep. To achieve a manageable volume of study, the course focuses primarily on poetry and prose, at drama’s expense, and on living writers, at the expense of their predecessors. Each class session follows a discussion format, often with students assigned to lead-off or summarize the day’s topic.
