TS As the Capital, Dublin Has Often Been TS As the capital, Dublin has often been the epicentre of cultural activity, and its streets – and colourful inhabitants – have proved a timeless source of inspiration for writers. The entire epic tale of Ulysses (which is more than 700 pages long) captures events taking place across the city on 16th June 1904. Step into the shoes of the main character of Ulysses, advertising canvasser Leopold Bloom, while wandering through Ireland’s capital city, Dublin. On your next visit to Dublin, why not let us arrange a luxury private chauffeur drive tour to explore the historic sights or a wonderful local tour guide to accompany you on a stroll through the city centre to see the areas associated with James Joyce and his wonderful books and characters.

Rest your legs at the Winding Stair Bookshop, one of the oldest surviving independent bookshops in Dublin. The bookshop has a unique atmosphere; a relaxed haven in the centre of the bustling city. The front part of the shop holds new books, while the smaller section at the back of the shop holds second-hand books. It is the perfect shop for browsing and there is always a something a little bit different to be found. https://winding- stair.com/bookshop.html The Irish spirit of choice — whiskey — plays an important role in Joyce's literature and indeed in his own background; his father was secretary of the Dublin and Chapelizod Distillery Co and his maternal grandfather John Murray once acted as sales representative for Powers.

Buy some lemon soap, enjoy readings of the book itself or just inhale the wondrous scents of the multitude of herbs and ointments on display. http://sweny.ie/site/ Travel south of the city centre to the Martello Tower at Sandycove, which is now home to the James Joyce Tower & Museum.

Maybe you would like to take a stroll around parts of the areas included in the book - No 7 Eccles Street, Dublin Leopold Bloom began his epic day here in Ulysses, eating a breakfast of: “mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine”. It’s also where Leopold’s wife Molly Bloom enjoys the company of her lover Blazes Boylan, finally concluding the book with the line: “..and yes I said yes I will Yes.“ Unfortunately the house on Eccles St. was knocked down and a private hospital stands in its place (located directly opposite No.76). St Georges Church, Hardwick Place St George’s is mentioned in Ulysses, its bells can be heard from the Blooms’ house in Eccles Street, and in the story Dubliners where “The belfry of St. George’s Church sent out constant peals”on a Sunday morning. Belvedere College, Denmark Street An exclusive Jesuit school, where Joyce was a pupil on a scholarship. Stephen Dedalus, Joyce’s alter ego in Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, struggles with feeling ashamed of his poor background while attending Belvedere and it was here he was terrified into vowing to live a life of purity after hearing a rousing sermon about hell. He was not long about abandoning the notion. Dublin Writers Museum, 18 Parnell Square, Dublin. https://www.visitdublin.com/see-do/details/dublin-writers-museum The Irish literary tradition is one of the most illustrious in the world, famous for four Nobel Prize winners and for many other writers of international renown. In 1991, the Dublin Writers Museum was opened to house a history and celebration of literary Dublin. Situated in a magnificent 18th century mansion in the north city centre, the collection features the lives and works of Dublin's literary celebrities over the past three hundred years. Swift and Sheridan, Shaw and Wilde, Yeats, Joyce and Beckett are among those presented through their books, letters, portraits and personal items. The James Joyce Centre, 35 North Great George’s Street, Dublin 1 https://jamesjoyce.ie/ The James Joyce Cultural Centre is situated in a stunning Georgian townhouse, offering visitors historical and biographical information about James Joyce and his influence in literature. Charles Stewart Parnell Statue, O’Connell Street Charles Stewart Parnell (27 June 1846 – 6 October 1891) was an Irish landowner, nationalist political leader, land reform agitator, and the founder and leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party. He was one of the most important figures in 19th century Ireland and Great Britain, and was described by Prime Minister William Gladstone as the most remarkable person he had ever met. The Irish Parliamentary Party split during 1890, following revelations of Parnell's private life intruding on his political career. He is nevertheless revered by subsequent Irish parliamentary republicans and nationalists. Joyce was greatly influenced by his ideals and his story, and he appears over and again in his writing, notably at the Christmas Dinner scene at the start of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Hotel Riu Plaza The Gresham Dublin, O’Connell Street. https://www.riu.com/en/hotel/ireland/dublin/hotel-riu-plaza-the-gresham-dublin/ In the The Dead Gabriel and Gretta Conroy spend the night at the Gresham Hotel after a party given by his two aunts. They arrive with Gabriel full of anticipation of the night ahead, but his world is shattered by Gretta’s revelations and weeping about the death of her former love. He stands looking out the window as she sleeps: “His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling”. James Joyce Statue, North Earl Street. Widely acclaimed as Ireland’s most famous author, James Joyce is immortalised in brass, in a life-sized statue on North Earl Street, adjacent to the O’Connell Street GPO. Although he spent much of his life abroad, Joyce wrote prolifically about his home country, and particularly the city of his birth. Erected in 1990, the statue, which was created by US sculptor Marjorie Fitzgibbon, depicts Joyce in a state of calm repose looking out across his beloved city and is passed by thousands of people every day. With hat askew, legs crossed and leaning on a cane with one hand in his pocket, Joyce’s attitude marks him as someone who has found his place. The GPO (General Post Office) – The central site in the Easter Rising of 1916, and where Padraig Pearse read the Proclamation of Independence. The GPO was the location where “trams slowed, shunted, changed trolley, started for Blackrock, Kingstown and Dalkey“, though Joyce marked the location with reference to Nelson’s Pillar, which stood opposite from when it was built in 1808, to honour Admiral Nelson following the Battle of Trafalgar, until it was blown up in 1966. Joyce also referred to the GPO - “Under the porch of the general post office shoeblacks called and polished“. Visit the GPO Witness History Museum, an immersive, interactive and engaging experience of modern Irish history from the late 19th century to modern times with particular emphasis on the 1916 Easter Rising, the Irish War of Independence, the Irish Civil War and the peace process in Northern Ireland.

    “TWO NOTES IN ONE THERE”: COUNTERPOINT AS PARADIGM IN JAMES JOYCE’S ULYSSES by FRANCES VICTORIA LOVELACE (Under the Direction of Adam Parkes) ABSTRACT In this study of James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922) I discuss the limits and dangers of using analogies between musical and literary works without firmly understanding the musical model that is being brought into comparison with the novel in question. Conversely, I show that a musical paradigm such as counterpoint, if properly defined, can be a very useful method by which to read and understand Joyce, since the syntax of music is as important to (and ever- present within) the world of Ulysses as that of the English language. I demonstrate that a contrapuntal reading of the often-overlooked “Wandering Rocks” episode serves to uncover some darkly ironic questions about Anglo-Irish politics, and that while the fugal structure that Joyce claimed for “Sirens” is a deeply suspect analogy, a reading of the musical notation within the episode leads to a new understanding of Leopold Bloom in relation to his wife, Molly.

The bridge has a 43 meter span, 3 meter width and is 3 meters above the water. Today 30,000 people walk across the bridge every day! Before the bridge was built people would take ferries across the river. The ferries were often overcrowded and sometimes even capsized. When the bridge was constructed the ferries became redundant. William Walsh was the former ferry owner and a city alderman. He was compensated with £3,000 and a lease on the bridge for 100 years.

    The places in Joyce… Ulysses was published in Paris in 1922 and is set in Dublin like almost all his works. The events unfold over 24 hours, beginning on the morning of Thursday 16th June 1904. Some of the events chronicled in the narrative correspond to actual episodes and occurrences in Joyce's life; his effort was to give a realistic portrait of the life of ordinary people doing ordinary things and living ordinary lives. By portraying these ordinary Dubliners, he succeeded in representing the whole of man's mental, emotional and biological reality and fusing it with the cultural heritage of modern civilization and with reality of the natural world around him. By proposing the topos of the hero- traveller, Joyce proposes a research of the sense of life by the modern man, giving a meaning to the banality of daily routines. The work has 18 chapters which correspond, often approximately and strangely, to episodes in the Homer's book. Martello Tower The James Joyce Tower or Martello Tower is in Sandycove. This is an old castle of XVIII century and was built to defend the coast by Napoleonic army. Here, where there is the Joyce Museum, the author set the First Chapter of his Ulysses. 7 Eccles Street 7 Eccles Street, the address where The Blooms lived, is named in the Fourth Chapter for the first time, when Leopold prepares a breakfast for his wife Molly. Today there is the Mater Private Hospital. Belvedere College Belvedere College is situated in Great Denmark Street. Joyce attended this school from the age of 11 to 16 and set the Ulysses from the chapter 2 to the chapter 4.

  • James Joyce, the City of Dublin, and the Imagined Tourist Experience
    The Prick with the Stick and the City that Hated then Loved Him: James Joyce, the City of Dublin, and the Imagined Tourist Experience An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Madeline Witek Thesis Advisor Dr. Patrick Collier 7~ Ball State University Muncie, Indiana August 2011 Expected Date of Graduation July 23, 2011 / Abstract James Joyce's novel Ulysses depicts the Dublin of 1904 in such detail that Joyce was famously quoted as saying that "if the city suddenly disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed out of my book," and it is this city of fiction which literary tourists come to experience in Dublin today_ The phenomenon of the imaginary becoming heritage is unique to the literary tourist experience, and it is one that keeps the modern city of Dublin situated in the nostalgic past. Joyce harbored ambivalent feelings in his lifetime towards the city of his birth, and Dublin reciprocated until recent decades; now it embraces and exploits its most famous son. I examine the history of the complicated relationship between Joyce and Dublin as it plays out through the complex systems of literary tourism, ultimately exploring the opposing academic and non-academic enthusiast communities occurring within the city of Dublin today_ Acknowledgments First and foremost I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Patrick Collier for advising me throughout this project. His continued guidance, encouragement, and patience throughout this long and challenging project has been invaluable and is just a small fraction of the help and guidance I received during my time at Ball State.
