English Literature / Unit 18 ENL 1726 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Ireland as a Postcolonial Case
Captions available
The idea
W-7's account of postcolonial literature includes Ireland: English came with the Norman conquest, English rule covered the island after the Tudor conquest and plantation, and the Irish language declined. The Irish Literary Revival and Ireland's later writers can be read in that light.
In practice
Conquest, plantation, language.
