8PM-8.30PM - Q&A
Dublin's pubs have long been celebrated as the heart of Ireland's literary culture, but did they also hold it back? In this entertaining and thought-provoking talk, Professor Christopher Morash explores how the city's famous pub culture shaped generations of writers while also excluding women, encouraging excess, and fostering a culture of creative frustration. Filled with colourful stories and surprising insights, this is a fresh look at one of Dublin's most enduring literary myths.

A Fellow of Trinity College Dublin and Member of the Royal Irish Academy, he is the author of numerous books, including Dublin: A Writer’s City, Yeats on Theatre, and A History of Irish Theatre, 1601–2000.
