Course details
This popular course, now in its 10th year, offers a friendly, relaxed and highly enjoyable journey through some great works of literature. It can best be described as a teacher led, student centred book club. Guided by the tutor students read the texts critically and share their own research and ideas with the group.
Autumn term 2023 we will concentrate on some of the prescribed literature texts on the 2024 Higher Level English Leaving Cert. syllabus. The class will not be a “grind” class for teenagers but it will be an adult look at one novel, one play and some fantastic twentieth century poetry.
Play: Hamlet (William Shakespeare)
Novel: Frankenstein (Mary Shelley)*
Poetry: Sylvia Plath, Eilean Ni Chuilleanain, Seamus Heaney and Emily Dickenson.
*This group has studied Frankenstein before but we will look at it again in relation to the current interest in AI.
Spring term of 2024 we will study the following texts:
The French Lieutenant’s Woman (John Fowles)
The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde)
Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption (Stephen King)
The Sunset Limited (Cormac McCarthy)
The literature class has a loyal following, but new students are particularly welcome.
