ONLINE SPRING LECTURE SERIES 2021
|
|
|
For the 2021 Spring Lecture Series, we will have three fascinating talks to look forward to. On February 22 at 8pm, we begin with journalist Senan Molony with his talk 'Martha Clifford — Unveiled?'
It's one of longest-running parlour games in literature, akin to the hunt for Shakespeare’s Dark Lady. Joyce in Ulysses tells us “Find MC”— the pseudonymous letter partner of Leopold Bloom (posing as Henry Flower) in Ulysses. Senan Molony argues we have to ‘think outside the books’ for a solution to the Clifford conundrum.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES JOYCE

On Feb 2nd 2021, we celebrated the birthday of James Joyce with a zoom performance of Three Quarks - A Trinity of Joyce by Jim Ward. It was wonderful to see so many people enjoy this reading, and it gives us great encouragement to continue our support for new creative works inspired by James Joyce. In case anyone missed all, or part of the performance, it is linked below for you to watch at your leisure on our YouTube channel!
