The Joyce of Dublin I first traveled to Dublin in 1992 to attend the the 13th International James Joyce Symposium (some of my photos date back to that year). Since then I've enjoyed many happy returns, including the privilege of lecturing at the International
James Joyce Summer School in 2001, and the19th International James Joyce Symposium, "Bloomsday 100" (in 2004, of course). In addition, I visit Ireland annually thanks to my Study Abroad Program, "European Literary Trails." This site should offer my prospective students a glimpse of Dublin and, hopefully, my other literary-minded guests will appreciate a few Joyce-related
photos (always click for a larger image). Exploring Dublin's rich cultural and literary traditions, students re-trace footsteps and pass the houses of such writers as James Joyce, W. B. Yeats, Oscar Wilde, and G. B. Shaw, to name a few. Trips around Dublin include both DART & bus excursions to Howth and Dun Laoghaire (pictures below) and to one of the greatest attractions of Wicklow Mountains, a visit to a 6th-c. monastery of St. Kevin at Glendalough (see link above). An important part of of our stay in Dublin is to explore places that celebrate literature:
