Úvod
Sekce obsahuje materiály k volitelnému semináři KAA UPOL Irish Literature 1. Změť poznámek z hodin jsem si rozdělila do kratších úseků dle vlastní libovůle a snad i dle logiky věci.
Informace k jednotlivým probíraným autorům najdete klasicky v katalogovém seznamu pod tímto úvodem, všechny zápisky v jediném dokumentu si pak můžete stáhnout pomocí odkazu v okně pod anketou vpravo na stránce.
Z povinné četby nabízím obsahy ke dvou probíraným dramatům (J. M. Synge, Riders to the Sea a The Playboy of the Western World) a jedné eseji (J. Swift, A Modest Proposal). Odkazy na tuto četbu do Čtenářského deníku jsou umístěné opět pod anketou, kde si můžete tyto obsahy také stáhnout ve formátu PDF.
