Irish Autobiography (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Emer O'Sullivan

Termin:
wöchentlich | Montag | 18:15 - 19:45 | 18.10.2010 - 31.01.2011 | C 16.129 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Autobiography is most commonly defined as “the biography of a person narrated by that person”, or “the story of a person’s life as told by him or herself”. In this seminar we will look at the Irish autobiographical tradition, examining key trends and themes of autobiographies published in the last and the present centuries, and placing them in their historical, cultural, literary and ideological contexts. Authors and works will include James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Frank McCourt’s Angela's Ashes (1996), and Hugo Hamilton’s The Speckled People (2003). We will also examine the generic features of autobiographies in terms of ‘life writing’ and ask why the genre has moved, during the last four decades, from the peripheries to the centre of the literary canon.
