James Joyces Dublin - AudioAuthor: The Open University
How did the fictional world James Joyce created reflect his own experiences of Dublin? Did Joyce write about a distinct Irish identity that had been ignored by many writers in the past? James Joyce was born in1882 and during the course of his life became one of the most influential Irish poets and novelists of his age. This discussion takes place in Mulligans pub, a venue featured in Joyces short story Counterparts and throughout the conversation we explore Dublins character as experienced through Joyces writing and how everything he experienced from the urban landscape, to the statues contributed to the work he produced.
