Ireland: James Joyce's Dublin, Summer

This course will use Joyce's novel Ulysses as a springboard to explore the city of Dublin, its culture, history, politics and society. The novel lends itself well to this type of exploration and learning project. Ulysses is divided into 18 episodes, and in each episode the main character, Leopold Bloom, travels through a different section of Dublin.
