Price: $100.00
Location: CelticMKE Center (Check-in at CelticMKE Center)
Start Date: Tue, August 14, 2018 Start Time: 09:00 AMEnd Date: Thu, August 16, 2018 End Time: 10:30 AMDescription: James Joyce’s collection of 15 short stories titled Dubliners was published in 1914. As in his masterpiece Ulysses, Joyce paints a picture of Dublin that can be traced to the present day. This short course will examine the themes and characters in selected stories and look at the setting in Dublin through old photos and maps. While reading the short stories prior to the first day of class may be advantageous, it is not necessary: we will study short passages of text in class. However, everyone should read the full text of the final story “The Dead” by the last day of class. (Free copies of the full text are available online.)
