A Tale of Two Cities: The Dublin of Swift and Joyce

Come to this fascinating lecture at the James Joyce Centre as part of the Bloomsday Celebrations.
COST: 11:70 euros Tickets from Eventbrite

Dive into the "Dublins" of literary legends Jonathan Swift and James Joyce in this special Bloomsday Festival lecture by Dr. Brendan Twomey.
Join us at The James Joyce Centre for a special Bloomsday Festival lecture on Monday, 15 June at 5:30 pm by Dr. Brendan Twomey about how the city of Dublin shaped (and were shaped by) two of its most iconic writers: Jonathan Swift and James Joyce.
This illustrated talk will use the Brookings map of Dublin of 1728 and Swift's comments on Dublin city as a starting point. Swift and Joyce may have been separated by two centuries but to say that they were opinionated about their native city is an understatement. Both writers have instant global visual and literary recognition that is forever associated with Dublin and both are still relevant "after all these years." Both sought, albeit using very different registers and coming from very different social, economic and cultural perspectives, to capture the essence of the spirit of their home city as reflected in its people, its politics, as well as its physical manifestation in its streetscapes and its buildings.
