From the ancient elms of Finnegans Wake to the floral dictionaries of Ulysses, this tour will illuminate a fascination with plants that accompanied Joyce throughout his life and has received little critical comment.
This tour will also delve into how Joyce appropriates and interprets some of the literary history of Glasnevin, examining it's associations with figures like Jonathan Swift and Thomas Tickell.
I look forward to seeing you there.
