		Literature is literally "an acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)").
		Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature", for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of grammar and syntax, of an unbelievable or disjointed story-line, or of inconsistent or unconvincing characters.
		Typically though, poetry as a form of literature makes some significant use of the formal properties of the words it uses — the properties attached to the written or spoken form of the words, rather than to their meaning.

		Literature is an agent as well as effect of such struggles, a crucial mechanism by which the language and ideology of an imperialist class or region preserves and perpetuates at the ideological level an historical identity shattered or eroded at the political.
		This course is concerned with Modern Irish literature as the politically articulate inscription of complex and multiple intersections of history, class and culture.
		Indeed, Irish history locates the modern Irish state in the political fact of appropriation by the Tudor kings in the 1600's, from which ensues those complicated doublings -- English and Irish, Anglo-Irish and Celt, landowner and tenant, colonialist and colonized, "West Briton" and insurrectionist -- negotiated in that literature.

		The generation of Irish poets that followed Yeats were, to simplify, divided between those who were influenced by his early Celtic style and those who followed such modernist figures as James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, both of whom wrote poetry as well as their better known fiction and drama.
		Although the documented history of Irish theatre began at least as early as 1601, the earliest Irish dramatists of note were William Congreve, one of the most interesting writers of Restoration comedies, and Oliver Goldsmith and Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who were two of the most successful playwrights on the London stage in the 18th century.
		However, it was in the last decade of the century that the Irish theatre finally came of age with the emergence of George Bernard Shaw and Oscar Wilde and the establishment in Dublin in 1899 of the Irish Literary Theatre.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Irish Literature
		Early Irish literature and the sagas relating to the pre-Christian period of Irish history abound with references to ogham writing, which was almost certainly of pagan origin, and which continued to be employed up to the Christianization of the island.
		These, according to Irish historians, were a body of Irish janissaries maintained by the Irish kings for the purpose of guarding their coasts and fighting their battles, but they ended by fighting the king himself and were destroyed by the famous cath (or battle of) Gabhra (Gowra).
		The Irish probably learnt the use of letters in the second century, but did not use the Roman alphabet until the country was converted to Christianity in the fourth and fifth centuries.

		The early literature has survived in Middle and Late Middle Irish manuscripts that are, for the most part, miscellaneous collections of prose and verse in which legend, history, bardic and lyric poetry, and medical, legal, and religious writings of several periods are all preserved side by side.
		This early Celtic literature is characterized by a simplicity and terseness of style interspersed with richness of imagery, color, and detail.

		Irish has recently received a degree of formal recognition in Northern Ireland, under the Good Friday Agreement alongside a small minority language called Ulster Scots (though some critics have questioned whether Ulster Scots is a language or merely a dialect of Lowland Scots).
		Connacht Irish is, for all the practical purposes, identical with Connemara-Aran Irish, with the exception of the very threatened dialect spoken in the northern part of County Mayo (Maigh Eo).
		Although Irish has been used as a literary language for more than thousand years, and in a form intelligible to contemporary speakers since at least the sixteenth century, modern Irish literature is thought to begin with the revival movement.

		Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge na hÉireann) is a Goidelic language spoken in Ireland.
		Munster Irish is spoken in the Gaeltachtaí of Kerry (Ciarraí), Coolea (Cúil Aodha) in the western part of County Cork (Contae Chorcaí), and the tiny pocket of Irish-speakers near Dungarvan (Dún Garbháin) in County Waterford (Contae Phort Láirge).
		However, since the demise of those Irish dialects spoken natively in what is today Northern Ireland, it is probably exaggerated to see Ulster Irish as an intermediary form between Scots Gaelic and the southern and western dialects of Irish.

		Although his Irish was very much his native dialect - even in such contextswhere a less dialectal style would have been appropriate - he was not afraid of enriching his Irish with constructed neologismsand loan words from other dialects including Scots Gaelic.

		Verse compositions by these professional poets form a substantial part of the literature which is extant from the period.
		The earliest reference to Fionn is in a text which belongs to the eighth or ninth century, but the first extended treatment of Fenian/Ossianic themes in extant literature is in Agallamh na Seanórach ‘the old men’s discourse’, which belongs to the second half of the twelfth century.
		In the Early Modern period much narrative and pious matter was adapted from external sources, mainly from French and English, and love poetry in the amour courtois genre was very successfully practised by professional poets and by members of the aristocracy.

	OUP: Modern Irish Literature: Sources and Founders: Mercier
		Modern Irish Literature: Sources and Founders marks the culmination of the lifetime interest of the distinguished scholar Vivian Mercier (1919-89) in the influence of Gaelic literature on modern Irish writing.
		Building on the insights developed in his classic The Irish Comic Tradition, in which he traced the continuity of attitudes and subjects of Irish writers from pre-Christian times to the present, Professor Mercier's focus here is on the research of nineteenth-century scholars which gave rise to the revival of Irish literature in English.
		Informed by a wealth and diversity of scholarship, and written in a highly accessible style, this book stands as a memorial to the achievement of Vivian Mercier and as an important contribution to the study of Irish literature.

		The beginning of the modern period in Ireland coincides with both the Irish revolution and the Irish Literary Renaissance.
		Because of this history much of Irish literature is best explained from a critical approach that is post colonial and where Irish nationalism becomes a central focus.
		Included in this approach are sub themes such as the impact of the Irish diaspora, the largest and dispersement of a people in human history ; the influence of religion; and the role of language (prior to the Great Famine of 1845, Irish was the spoken language of the majority of the island's inhabitants).

		COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course investigates one of the most magnificent outpourings of literature in European history, the movement of Modern Irish Literature from the 1890's through the 1930’s.
		During these remarkable decades, Irish writers reached unprecedented heights in poetry, fiction, drama, and prose, reasserting Ireland’s ancient literary heritage and assuming the vanguard in European Modernism.
		After an initial study of the context and development of Irish literature in history, poetry, landscape, and music, we will focus primarily on the four most prominent writers of the Irish modern period: W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, J.M. Synge, and James Joyce.
