To help us understand this pivotal period, Professor Conner traces the course of Irish history starting with the ancient Celts and running through the Middle Ages. The Course: As Ireland shook off the shackles of British rule, it produced one of the greatest flourishings of literature in modern times - a spirited discourse that found the significance of the present entwined with the legendary past. Discover the dazzling arts and bloody struggles of the Irish Renaissance and fight for independence, guided by great works from Yeats, Joyce, Lady Gregory, and others All Lectures: 1.
