Joyce\u2019s portrayal of Ulster is a characteristically complex amalgam of difference and inclusion. Joyce began to write the Wake, provisionally called <em>Work in Progress<\/em>, in 1923 and he published the novel in 1939. He was, therefore, ideally placed to interrogate partition and the growing pains of the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland. His portrait is tinged with disappointment and regret. A century after partition, and in the aftermath of Brexit, borders are again physical and symbolic markers of difference and exclusion. Joyce\u2019s critique of intolerance and separatism is as pertinent today as when he embarked on Finnegans Wake a hundred years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event is free but booking is essential.

His thesis was on Ulster and unionism in <em>Finnegans Wake<\/em>. He has presented peer-reviewed papers on Finnegans Wake at conferences of the International Association for the Study of Irish Literatures at University of Cork (2018), University of Nijmegen, Netherlands (2018), and Trinity College Dublin (2019) and delivered three courses on Joyce\u2019s fiction (two of which covered <em>Finnegans Wake<\/em>) at the Continuing Education Department, Liverpool University. His book <em>Finnegans Wake, Ulster and Partition: The Sanguine Boundary Limit<\/em> was published last year by Cork University Press.
