Symposium:Ireland, Modernism & the fin de siècle
University of Limerick & Mary Immaculate College Limerick 16th & 17th April 2010
Plenary Speakers:Prof. Lyn Pykett, University of AberystwythProf. Adrian Frazier, NUI GalwayProf. Joseph Bristow, UCLA In the past fifteen years a lively and growing dynamic has emerged in Irish scholarship which has broadened critical discourse beyond previous somewhat static literary-historical categories, deploying postcolonial, feminist and queer approaches to Irish literature and culture. This troubling of the canon enables us to find new ways of reading canonical work, and to address forms and writers hitherto neglected. This symposium on Ireland, Modernism and the fin de siècle aims to explore one such area, by interrogating the connections and potential incompatibilities between formal and textual experimentation in the work of Irish writers at the fin de siècle, and the subsequent emergence and transnational reach of literary modernism.
