The School of English is delighted to announce that two fully-funded four-year doctoral awards will be available from September 2019 on two Provost’s Project PhD awards: Big Dating - Using Medieval Data to Date Medieval Texts (PI: Dr Mark Faulkner) and Shirley Jackson: Beyond Hill House (PI: Dr Bernice Murphy).

March 2019 sees the debut of a new play by Dr Carlo Gébler of the Oscar Wilde Centre for Irish Writing. SL and NCR celebrates the loves, losses and landscape of the Sligo, Leitrim and Northern Counties Railway, and is based on stories gathered from members of active age groups, historical societies and railway enthusiasts.

2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of IASIL (or IASAIL, the International Association for the Study of Anglo-Irish Literature, as it existed in its first incarnation).

Congratulations to Rohan Swamy, former M.Phil. in Creative Writing student, for contributing an article in the latest Times Study Abroad book, where he speaks about his time in the Trinity Oscar Wilde Centre.

This course will survey the literature of fear from the Anglo-Saxons up to the present, exploring how literary works have set out both to frighten their audiences and to reflect on the very nature of fear itself.
