This semester’s final session of NUI Galway’s research forum for Modernist Studies Ireland, ‘Works in Progress’, takes place on 30 April, 5-6 pm, in the Bridge Room. IRC Postgraduate Scholar Melinda Szűts will be talking about the influence of early modern theatre spaces on the development of Irish stagecraft at the turn of the century, in the context of the Elizabethan Revival and the Irish Literary Revival. Her paper focuses on the changes W. B. Yeats’s new concept of space dramaturgy brought to performance practice and architecture in the Abbey and Peacock stages, and how these changes influenced the culture politics of the Irish national theatre.
‘Modernist Studies Ireland: Works in Progress’ provides a monthly platform to foster the dialogic exchange of current research on modernism/modernity, as conducted here at NUIG and elsewhere on this island. It a regular opportunity for early career and senior researchers to disseminate their work and discuss it within the scholarly community at NUIG.
