Comment/Description

The female body in Irish society in general, and in Irish literature in particular, was often relegated to being a mere icon of national pride, independence and Catholic virtues. With her book The Country Girls (1960), Edna O’Brien famously attacked this persistent national image of women’s ‘respectability’. In this course we will (chronologically) observe how women’s bodies were and are portrayed in Irish literature and moreover, how their iconic status was undermined in favour of a more complex and genuine understanding of women’s embodied reality. We will read and discuss the first volume of Edna O’Brien’s The Country Girls, Anne Enright’s The Green Road (2015), Donal Ryan’s All We Shall Know (2016) as well as several shorter texts that I will upload on Digicampus.
