Selected Highlights
Literature of Irish Exile: Carleton, Montague and Migration
Description

Explore the literature of authors William Carleton (1704 - 1869) and John Montague (1929 - 2016) on Saturday 2nd November. Delve into the themes of landscape, memory, exile and migration found in Carleton and Montague's work.
