The Irish Revival ushered Ireland’s literature and culture into the modern age while also reconnecting it with Gaelic language, myth, and music. The movement produced a critical strain of modernism at the turn of the twentieth century that critiqued British imperialism, questioned American assimilationism, and aimed to shock contemporary Irish audiences out of complacency. It worked. Theatrical productions led to riots. Works of fiction ended up censored. But over the course of three decades, the Revival came to be understood as a crowning achievement of Irish modernity. Returning to the debates about national sovereignty, female suffrage, labor rights, unionism, and pacificism can give us a sense of how writers intervened in a world on the brink of great change and how Dublin concentrated their efforts. We’ll read writers like William Butler Yeats and J.M Synge alongside thinkers like Lady Gregory and Patrick Pearse. While in Dublin, we’ll visit sites like the Abbey Theatre, National Print Museum, and some of Dublin’s finest pubs featuring “trad music.” The site visits will illuminate how the Irish Revival shaped contemporary Dublin and left a lasting legacy on Irish culture.

Ulysses is often considered the most important novel of the twentieth century and James Joyce’s crowning achievement. The novel, conceptualized as a retelling of The Odyssey, presents an epic in modern form that charts new territory in the history of narrative. Ulysses divided critical opinion when first published in 1922. Virginia Woolf lambasted Joyce’s “cloacal obsession,” while Ezra Pound praised Bloom’s “interior poetry.” Critics were equally divided about whether Ulysses should be categorized as realism or mythic experimentation. Unquestionably, the novel achieves a realistic representation of Dublin with its obsessive attention to detail, its focus on a single day (June 16, 1904), and its cross-section of society only just emerging from the Victorian Era. Yet the novel also features a relentless sequence of literary experiments and a unique form of narration that depicts individual consciousness in all its wanderings. One of the best ways to appreciate the novel’s achievements is to get to know the city that inspired it, visiting the sites that continue to seethe with the social significances the novel dramatized in language.
