After studying on the College of Charleston campus for several weeks, students traveled to Ireland, visiting stone-age sites, like the cairn on Knocknarea, and other places important to pre-Christian, Celtic mythology, such as Dun Aengus on the wind-swept western isle of Innismore.
They viewed the early-Medieval ruins of Clonmacnoise, where these oral legends were first written down. And they experienced the many sites important to the modern revival of these myths during the Celtic Renaissance at the turn of the last century: Lady Gregory's Coole Park, W. B. Yeats's Thoor Ballylee, the Lake Isle of Innisfree, the holy waters of Glencar, Joyce's Martello Tower in Sandycove south of Dublin, the Hill of Howth guarding the mouth of Dublin's bay. Students lodged in downtown Galway, at the Yeats Village in Sligo, and Trinity College in Dublin.
Students were able to earn credits for ENGL 360 Irish Mythology and ENGL 370 The Celtic Revival.
