Galway

  Galway, the largest county in the province of Connacht, lies to the west of Ireland by the coast.  The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times in places like Connemara.  Galway City is known as the capital of the west.  It is a magical city as even its name comes from Gallaimh, a mythological princess who drowned in the river nearby.  In 1477 Christopher Columbus stopped over in Galway city with a fleet of ships and was given a blessing in St. Nicholas's Church.  The Spanish Armada also stopped in Galway to take shelter, and Galway soon established good trading links with Spain.  By the middle of the seventeenth century Galway was a great city until an English ruler named Cromwell invaded.  Galway was soon became poor and over-crowded as Cromwell had seized all the wealth of the city.  The final blow was the great Famine 1846-1849.  It is only today that Galway has fully recovered.
  Nora Barnacle, Joyce's wife, was born there to parents in Sullivan's Lane on March 21, 1884.  Her father was a baker, an also a heavy drinker, kept his large family poor, according to Richard Ellmann's biography James Joyce (rev. 1982, p.157).
  Coole Park, the home of Lady Gregory, and also the setting of W. B. Yeats' famous poem "Wild Swans at Coole" is about twenty-four miles outside Galway on the Gort/Limerick road.  Moreover, Yeats' tower Thoor Ballylee is very close to the park.

References to Galway in Joyce's works

`O, do go, Gabriel,' she cried. `I'd love to see Galway again.' ("The Dead," 0532; Dubliners, Gabler & Hettche 1991)

`It was a person I used to know in Galway when I was living with my grandmother,' she said. ("The Dead," 1445-46; Dubliners, Gabler & Hettche 1991)

`I used to go out walking with him,' she said, `when I was in Galway.' ("The Dead," 1460-61; Dubliners, Gabler & Hettche 1991)

`Perhaps that was why you wanted to go to Galway with that Ivors girl?' he said coldly. ("The Dead," 1463-64; Dubliners, Gabler & Hettche 1991)

And he was ill at the time in his lodgings in Galway and wouldn't be let out, and his people in Oughterard were written to. ("The Dead," 1510-12; Dubliners, Gabler & Hettche 1991)

`And then when it came to the time for me to leave Galway and come up to the convent he was much worse and I wouldn't be let see him, so I wrote him a letter saying I was going up to Dublin and would be back in the summer, and hoping he would be better then.' ("The Dead," 1521-25; Dubliners, Gabler & Hettche 1991)
