BloomEccles Bound! by Professor Barry Keane

Join us at the James Joyce Centre for the inaugural talk of our Spring Lecture Series 2025.

In BloomEccles Bound! Bloom and his Northside Dublin Exile, Prof. Barry Keane will introduce how Leopold Bloom from James Joyce's novel Ulysses is out of sorts because of his decision to reside on the Northside of Dublin, where he has found himself removed from a community culture which he perhaps had once taken for granted. Indeed, it often seems the case that Bloom is treated poorly because of his loss of centredness. He the victim of prejudice for being a Jew in search of a return to his homeland, that being the environs of Clanbrassil Street where he was born.
