They give a wonderful insight into the life and literature of James Joyce and explore our unique location at the heart of Joyce\u2019s Dublin.<\/p>\n Though Joyce lived most of his life outside of Ireland, Dublin would provide the backdrop for virtually all of his work. On a stroll around the north inner city, our guide will explain the real-life inspiration behind some of Joyce\u2019s most celebrated writing and will show just how central the streetscape of the \u2018Hibernian metropolis\u2019 is to the author\u2019s life and art. The tour visits stops such as Joyce\u2019s alma mater, Belvedere College; North Hardwicke Street, the setting of the short story \u2018The Boarding House\u2019; The Gresham Hotel, the setting of the final and most memorable scene of the short story \u2018The Dead\u2019; and the James Joyce Statue on North Earl Street, affectionately known as the \u2018Prick with the Stick\u2019. The tour also includes a visit to the site of one of the most famous addresses in English literature, No. 7 Eccles Street, and retraces the steps of Leopold Bloom\u2019s celebrated journey to buy a pork kidney in the fourth episode of\u00a0Ulysses. This tour ends on O\u2019Connell Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n Book This Tour <\/i><\/a>\n<\/p>\n Quis autem vel eum iure repre henderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae con.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Joyce once referred to Dublin as the \u2018centre of paralysis\u2019, a city that he felt was backward and repressive in contrast to the modern capitals of Europe. This idea found its expression in\u00a0Dubliners, a short story collection that illustrates the effects of this restrictive atmosphere on the city\u2019s population. Join our guide on a walk that visits some of the key locations from both the collection and the author\u2019s life, discussing all the while Joyce\u2019s critical portrayal of the social, religious and political landscape of his home town. This tour also gives some insight into the publication history of the collection, itself a story that creates a sense of Joyce\u2019s artistic mission and his controversial approach to writing about Dublin. This tour ends around O\u2019Connell Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n Book This Tour <\/i><\/a>\n<\/p>\n Sed quia consequuntur The \u2018Lestrygonians\u2019 episode of\u00a0Ulysses\u00a0sees Leopold Bloom make his way through the city centre on his way from Middle Abbey Street to the National Library. As he begins to feel the rumblings of hunger, his thoughts become centred on the social, political cultural and religious significance of food; as he goes on to think, food underlies all relations to the extent that \u2018peace and war depend on some fellow\u2019s digestion\u2019. Bloom\u2019s musings on the importance of food are mixed with a commentary on the architecture that surrounds him, emphasising Dublin\u2019s position as a colonial city. Join our guide as we follow in Bloom\u2019s footsteps and discuss these thoughts, focusing on Joyce\u2019s effort to bring the unsavoury workings of the body into a work of art and use food as the basis of a political and social commentary. This tour ends on Kildare Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n Book This Tour <\/i><\/a>\n<\/p>\n Consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt sed quia <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The James Joyce Centre\u00a0offers various options for group visits.
