\nIf you\u2019re a James Joyce fan and are planning on travelling to Dublin to work and study<\/u>, do some teacher training<\/u>, or simply soak up the vibrant atmosphere of this UNESCO City of Literature<\/u>, you might want to make ISI Dublin<\/u> your first port of call. Amongst the myriad locations of the city connected to Joyce\u2019s corpus, ISI Dublin\u2019s Meeting House Lane campus is housed in the last remaining building of Saint Mary\u2019s Abbey<\/u>, whose Chapter House<\/u> features in Ulysses<\/u><\/em>(1922) as \u201cthe most historic spot in all Dublin<\/u>.\u201d\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From here, it is just a short jaunt \u2014 one we make regularly with our students \u2014 to Middle Abbey Street and the erstwhile offices of the Evening Telegraph<\/em>, employers of Ulysses\u2019 principal protagonist, Leopold Bloom. Following the first in a series of bronze pavement plaques, you can then trace Bloom\u2019s midday route through Dublin, creating a mini-Bloomsday all of your own!<\/p>\n

(Not though, perhaps, without pausing to pick up a copy of Ulysses <\/em>on location \u2014 the Evening Telegraph <\/em>is now a bookshop called Easons, which sells Wordsworth Classic editions of Ulysses <\/em>for a paltry 4.99e; you can subsequently boast to friends or colleagues that you bought this iconic work of modernist literature \u201cin the heart of the Hibernian metropolis\u201d at Bloom\u2019s very place of business, as featured in the Aeolus episode.)<\/p>\n

Onwards, then. Where to next? Oh yes, down O\u2019Connell Street \u2014 smelling \u201cpineapple rock,\u201d \u201clemon plait,\u201d \u201cbutter scotch\u201d \u2014 and across its famous bridge \u2014 where \u201cpuffballs of smoke\u201d plume up from \u201cthe parapet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Crossing over to Dublin\u2019s south side, you may wish to pause and smile \u201cO rocks\u201d at the windows of the Ballast Office, or continue on, by all means, crossing Westmoreland Street, to embrace the vapours of \u201cHot mockturtle soup\u201d and steams of \u201cnewbaked jampuffs\u201d rolypolying out of Harrison\u2019s . . . (currently a Chinese restaurant).<\/p>\n

Continuing southwards towards Trinity College, you\u2019ll find yourself beneath Thomas Moore\u2019s \u201croguish finger,\u201d . . . smile fading, perhaps, as you walk passed its shadowy, surly front \u2014 trams passing one another, \u201cingoing, outgoing, clanging\u201d \u2014 in what is perhaps one of the most compelling examples of Ulysses<\/em>\u2019 streams-of-consciousness.<\/p>\n

What next? Perhaps stay on route, in which case you\u2019ll end up at the National Museum near Trinity College via Grafton Street. Or you could follow the college\u2019s railings as they wrap around Nassau Street and make your way towards Sweny\u2019s pharmacy on Westmoreland Row, where you can pick up a bar of that famous Lemon Soap!<\/p>\n

\nHmm . . . What to do? Certainly, if you make your way towards Sweny\u2019s, you could also pop into Kennedy\u2019s pub \u2014 Oscar Wilde\u2019s old haunt \u2014 or, heading northbound from Westland Row, make your way to All Hallows Church: the location of poor auld Paddy Dignam\u2019s funeral mass! Alternatively, you could make your way back towards ISI Dublin\u2019s Meeting House Lane campus and to the house of \u201cThe Dead\u201d on Ushers Island? Lots of choices. Let\u2019s check out the options together in the next of this series of blog posts on ISI and James Joyce\u2019s Dublin!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
