Just noticed this is a mid week morning. So adult education but only if you're not at work. Or minding children. Hm. Not very impressive.
Anyway, if you are of that ilk, and have €195 to spend. here's the low down.
Through a series of eight lectures, students will engage with poetry, the short story, the novel and drama in examining the contributions of Yeats, Joyce, Beckett and Heaney to Irish and world literature. Classes will focus on key texts to investigate the aesthetic achievements of their work and its lasting influence.
To book a place, register at www.ucd.ie/adulted or contact UCD Adult Education Centre on 01-7167123.
Fee €195.
