Join us in conjunction with the University’s inaugural Liverpool Literary Festival for a discussion by writers, historians and cultural commentators on the idea of Easter 1916 as a writers' uprising, focusing on the central role played by literature both before and after this key event in the foundation of the modern Irish state.
