The write stuff: 100 years of Northern Irish literature
The island of Ireland has a global reputation for its storytelling ability — classic novels, quirky texts, modern tomes, plays, prose and poetry that have stood the test of time and continue to appear on examination papers — and the North in isolation is no different. Seamus Heaney, CS Lewis, Brian Moore, Bernard MacLaverty, Medbh McGuckian, Jan Carson, Lucy Caldwell are some of our greatest literary exports in a by no means exhaustive list.
