A Tale of Two Cities: The Dublins of Swift & Joyce
Monday, 15 June 2026
About this event
This illustrated talk will use the Brookings map of Dublin of 1728 and Swift’s comments on Dublin city as a starting point. Swift and Joyce may have been separated by two centuries but to say that they were opinionated about their native city is an understatement.
Join us as Dr. Twomey explores the “Dublins” of Swift and Joyce’s times, weighing the merits of the old addage “the more things change, the more they stay the same” and the literary masterpieces they have produced.
