The James Joyce Centre is situated near the centre of Dublin City or “the Heart of the Hibernian Metropolis” as Joyce called it in his great work Ulysses<\/em>. James Joyce once declared that if Dublin \u201cone day suddenly disappeared from the Earth it could be reconstructed out of my book\u201d. Though he would spend most of his life living in Continental Europe, Dublin would be the focus of almost all his major work.\u200b As he wrote to his brother Stanislaus on 24 September 1905, nearly a year after leaving Ireland for Italy: “When you remember that Dublin has been a capital for thousands of years, that it is the ‘second’ city of the British Empire, that it is nearly three times as big as Venice, it seems strange that no artist has given it to the world\u2026\u200b”<\/p>\n Explore the Dublin that Joyce “gave” to the world by clicking on the images below.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2014Today the bards must drink and junket. Ireland expects that every man this day will do his duty.<\/p>\n \u2014That reminds me, Haines said, rising, that I have to visit your national library today.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n On the doorstep he felt in his hip pocket for the latchkey. Not there. In the trousers I left off. Must get it. Potato I have. Creaky wardrobe. No use disturbing her. She turned over sleepily that time. He pulled the halldoor to after him very quietly, more, till the footleaf dropped gently over the threshold, a limp lid. Looked shut. All right till I come back anyhow.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n On special Sundays, when Mr Kearney went with his family to the pro-cathedral, a little crowd of people would assemble after mass at the corner of Cathedral Street.<\/p>\n “A Mother”, Dubliners<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n The sun was nearing the steeple of George\u2019s church. Be a warm day I fancy. Specially in these black clothes feel it more.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Mrs Mooney, who had taken what remained of her money out of the butcher business and set up a boarding house in Hardwicke Street, was a big imposing woman.<\/p>\n “The Boarding House”, Dubliners<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Slower the mare went up the hill by the Rotunda, Rutland square. Too slow for Boylan, blazes Boylan, impatience Boylan, joggled the mare.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n \u2026as they stood at the hotel door, he felt that they had escaped from their lives and duties, escaped from home and friends and run away together with wild and radiant hearts to a new adventure.<\/p>\n “The Dead”, Dubliners<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n He is dead. We saw him lying upon the catafalque. A wail of sorrow went up from the people.<\/p>\n \u2014Parnell! Parnell! He is dead!<\/p>\n A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n IN THE HEART OF THE HIBERNIAN METROPOLIS<\/p>\n Before Nelson\u2019s pillar trams slowed, shunted, changed trolley<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n All these here once walked round Dublin. Faithful departed. As you are now so once were we.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n As he set foot on O\u2019Connell bridge a puffball of smoke plumed up from the parapet.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Grafton street gay with housed awnings lured his senses.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Under the porch of the general post office shoeblacks called and polished.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n It\u2019s the clock is worked by an electric wire from Dunsink. Must go out there some first Saturday of the month.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Am I walking into eternity along Sandymount strand.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n On the quiet church whence there streamed forth at times upon the stillness the voice of prayer to her who is in her pure radiance a beacon ever to the stormtossed heart of man, Mary, star of the sea.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Crossing Stephen\u2019s, that is, my Green.<\/p>\n A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n He knew that in a moment when he entered the sombre college he would be conscious of a corruption.<\/p>\n A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n To heaven by water. Perhaps I will without writing. Come as a surprise, Leixlip, Clonsilla. Dropping down lock by lock to Dublin.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n The subject of talk was the opera company which was then at the Theatre Royal.<\/p>\n “The Dead”, Dubliners<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n In Westmoreland Street the footpaths were crowded with young men and women returning from business and ragged urchins ran here and there yelling out the names of the evening editions.<\/p>\n “Counterparts”, Dubliners<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Provost\u2019s house. The reverend Dr Salmon: tinned salmon. Well tinned in there.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n He crossed at Nassau street corner and stood before the window of Yeates and Son, pricing the fieldglasses.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Before the huge high door of the Irish house of parliament a flock of pigeons flew. Their little frolic after meals. Who will we do it on? I pick the fellow in black.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n As they passed along the railings of Trinity College, Lenehan skipped out into the road and peered up at the clock.<\/p>\n “Two Gallants”, Dubliners<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n He entered Davy Byrne\u2019s. Moral pub.<\/p>\n Ulysses<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n They walked along Nassau Street and then turned into Kildare Street. Not far from the porch of the club a harpist stood in the roadway, playing to a little ring of listeners.<\/p>\n “Two Gallants”, Dubliners<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Life Work Timeline Joyce\u2019s Dublin Resources Joyce\u2019s Dublin The James Joyce Centre is situated near the centre of Dublin City or “the Heart of the Hibernian Metropolis” as Joyce called it in his great work Ulysses.
