This course will provide an introduction to major authors of poetry, drama and prose through close examination of selected texts, chosen from among those prescribed for the Leaving Certificate in 2014. The course will be of special interest to teachers and pupils preparing for the examination but the lectures will be directed towards a more general audience as well.
