Summer School 1996 Programme
The fifth William Carleton Summer School was held from Monday 5 to Friday 9 August 1996. Please click on the image of the cover to read the full programme.
One of the recurring issues at the Summer Schools has been the extent to which Carleton influenced later writers. The question is asked particularly in relation to writers such as Patrick Kavanagh or John McGahern who locate much of their work in rural Irish communities. Accordingly, the theme for 1996 is The Writer and Rural Ireland.
