Did you know that James Joyce was educated at Belvedere College, the prestigious private school that hosts our English Summer Camp for Teenagers, for no less than five of what were arguably the most formative years of his life? Joyce \u2014 who would go on to become a world-famous novelist of the modernist avant-garde, making Belvedere College renowned worldwide through his autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) \u2014 entered Belvedere in 1893 at the tender age of 11 and proved himself to be a very bright pupil there right up until his departure upon graduation in 1898 at the hardy age of 16. In a previous blog post<\/a>, we shed partial light on ISI\u2019s unique relationship \u2014 as an English school in Dublin \u2014 to this stalwart literary figure; universally acclaimed as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. In this blog post, part \u201cIII\u201d of a very enlightening series of \u201cV\u201d (you can read part \u201cII\u201d here<\/a>) we want to enlighten you further by focusing on the rich religious heritage of Belvedere College \u2014 the base of our English Summer Camp in Dublin \u2014 as well as Joyce\u2019s place, as but one of many famous alumni, within and beyond it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

James Joyce graduated from Belvedere College, S.J., in 1898, by far its most famous alumnus. In his biography of Joyce, Richard Ellmann covers the five years that the budding writing spent here, but credits Kevin Sullivan\u2019s \u201cpainstaking book,\u201d Joyce among the Jesuits (1958), for its comprehensive account of Joyce\u2019s experiences with his influential teachers. \u201cThey\u2019ll be of service to him in after years,\u201d we read in the oblique autobiographical novel A Portrait, \u201c[t]hose are the fellows that can get you a position.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Bruce Bradley, S.J.,\u2019s James Joyce\u2019s Schooldays (1982), which has a foreword by Ellmann, we encounter a Jesuit authority on Joyce who cites the young author\u2019s own resolve to stay with the Jesuits when courted by the Dominicans: \u201cI began with the Jesuits and I want to end with them,\u201d we read in A Portrait; and later: \u201cThey taught me how to survey and to judge.\u201d In his foreword to Bradley\u2019s Schooldays, Ellmann adds that the Jesuits equipped Joyce with \u201cthe ritual and moral codes which, in all his rebellion, he would never cease to find fascinating. For Joyce\u2019s books could not exist without Catholicism as panoply or as theme.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cposition\u201d prophesied in A Portrait (above) in \u201cafter years\u201d transpired to be one situated in the literary pantheon. Joyce\u2019s debt to his Jesuit education, both as a writer and a as person, has been sufficiently explored in disquisitions on his life and works. Rather than suggest fresh perspectives for that discussion here, this post and the following one will follow Leo M. Manglaviti, S.J., in revisiting (see part \u201cI\u201d<\/a> in this series of blogposts) a \u201cliving artefact of that education, Belvedere House, the Jesuit community residence at Joyce\u2019s Dublin alma matter.\u201d With Manglaviti, we are curious about what Joyce saw each day during the years he spent in Great Denmark Street?<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Manglaviti claims \u201cstudents in Joyce\u2019s time saw very little of the Jesuit residence itself, except for the imposing facade on Great Denmark Street.\u201d Manglaviti\u2019s \u201cSticking to the Jesuits: Revisiting Belvedere House\u201d (2000) follows Bradley\u2019s account in noting how this “house, which was acquired by the school in 1841, was no longer in use for school matters in the 1890s, since by that time all student activities were centered in the adjoining buildings.\u201d Accordingly, a student at Belvedere College would, in Joyce\u2019s day, only have seen the stunning interiors of Belvedere House itself through a private invitation from one of their Jesuit superiors\u2014 as this was their living quarters \u2014 and there is no extant evidence to suggest the young Joyce was ever accorded one. For Bradley, \u201c[t]his accounts for Joyce\u2019s \u2018surprising failure\u2019 to have Stephen in A Portrait make \u2018any mention at all of the magnificent interior decoration\u2019 of the main hall, stairway, or rooms in the classical style dedicated to Apollo, Venus, and Diana . . .\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Did you know that it was during his time at Belvedere College \u2014 in being assigned an English composition topic \u201cMy Favourite Hero\u201d \u2014 that Joyce first read Charles Lamb\u2019s The Adventures of Ulysses (1808): the book which would inspire the outline for his world-famous novel? It was also in relation to his time at Belvedere College that Constantin Curran, a close friend of Joyce and a character in A Portrait, would write: \u201cSo far as teaching can make a writer, it was at Belvedere that the neophyte learned his art . . .\u201d<\/p>\n
