Announced, leading Irish Writers attending London Summer School

Special guest at this year’s summer school is the award-winning writer
John Healy whose autobiography The Grass Arena is now a Penguin Modern Classic. Other writers appearing are the critically-acclaimed playwright Anne Devlin, novelists Bridget Whelan and Lucy Caldwell and literary critic and historian Professor Clair Wills.

First established in 1996, the summer school runs for two nights per week for six weeks at London Metropolitan University in Holloway and aims to provide an informal but informative setting for students wishing to study Irish literature over the summer. The course consists of a mixture of lectures, seminars, readings and cultural activities. Each week an established Irish writer comes to read and speak about their work to the students. Two evenings prior to this, students read, discuss and analyse extracts of the writer's work with the course tutor.

This is not a creative writing course. However, it will complement
such a course of study at London Metropolitan University or elsewhere.
No prior qualifications are required to attend.

The Irish Writers in London Summer School is supported by the Garnett
Foundation.

Summer School Information:
Courses will run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 18 June - 24 July from 6.00pm- 8.30pm.
