Contemporary Irish Literature and Cats

3月24日是露西·麦克迪尔米德教授的当代爱尔兰文学课的好日子。  为了利用Zoom的优势，学生们被邀请向班上其他同学介绍他们的猫。  学生们使用专门为这次活动创作的爱尔兰猫文学选集，对以猫为主题的诗歌和故事进行了简短的口头报告。  It became clear to everyone that there is a  strong  intertextual cat tradition, from the famous  “Pangur Bán,” a monk’s poem to his cat, written in the margins of a religious manuscript, through to the present day.
