Join the Irish Studies Program and the Maxwell Library on
Thursday, September 28, from 12:30 - 2 p.m. in the library’s Heritage Room, for the
first of two Irish Cultural Heritage Day events: IRELAND AND THE GLOBAL
GOTHIC. Dr. Mindi McMann, Associate Professor of English at The College of
New Jersey, will discuss the
Gothic in Patrick McCabe's 1992 novel, The Butcher Boy, the macabre
story of one boy's shatteringly distressed life.
Dr. McMann’s research and teaching interests focus on the intersections
of literature, politics, ethics, and nationalism, using contemporary British
and Anglophone literature as the center point of her work.
IRELAND AND THE GLOBAL GOTHIC is open to the BSU community and the public.
