This project focuses on two moments of the lrish Literary Renaissance in the turn of the nineteenth century and the twentieth century. Its aim is to examine different critical trends in fiction, drama and poetry developed by important Irish writers and critics and those trends present in the cultural diaspora in order to select the aesthetic elements that could renew the literary critical debate in Brazil. The relevant material will be translated and published as an anthology and thematic books. (AU)
