Dublin (Baile Atha Cliath) and Joyce
2 - 7 August, 2009


  Dublin is the capital city of Ireland where James Joyce was born and grew up; he lived there from 1882 to 1904.  The Irish dubh linn means "black pool" (which reminds you of "Guinness beer"); the Gaelic name of the city is Baile Atha Cliata, which literally means "Town of the Ford of Hurdles."  The early history is mainly legendary.  It is recorded that the inhabitants of Leinster were defeated by the people of Dublin.  Christianity was introduced by St. Patrick about 450. Dublin was re-established as a trading post by Viking invaders in 841.  The Scandinavian element in Dublin's history provided Joyce with material he used in Finnegans Wake, a work whose title itself resonates with Nordic overtones.
  The city of Dublin plays a prominent role in the writings of Joyce and provides the setting and central geographical motif for most of his work. In a letter to his London publisher, Grant Richards, dated 15 October 1905, Joyce explained the significance Dublin had for him and its importance in his stories: "I do not think that any writer has yet presented Dublin to the world. It has been a capital of Europe for thousands of years, it is supposed to be the second city of the British Empire and it is nearly three times as big as Venice.*  Moreover,... the expression 'Dubliner' seems to me to have some meaning and I doubt whether the same can be said for such words as 'Londoner' and 'Parisian' both of which have been used by writers as titles" (Letters, II, 122).
  Joyce, who wrote most vividly of Dublin after he had left it, used virtually all of it in his work. His depiction of Dublin's citizens, street, neighborhoods, shops, public houses, churches, parks, culture, politics and history is unsurpassed in Irish literature. Throughout his life, Joyce's affection for Dublin never dwindled, and he often fondly referred to it as "dear dirty Dublin."

  *According to the census in Britannica 11th ed.(1911), the population of Dublin was 290,638 (1901), Venice was 169, 563 (1881). Dublin was not the second city of the British Empire in Joyce's time: the population of Greater London was 6,581,402 (1901), Liverpool 684,958(1901) [753,203(1908 estimated) ], Manchester 606,824 (1901), Birmingham 522,204 (1901) and Edinburgh 316,479 (1901). So I presume that Dublin was actually the sixth city of the Empire.

  *If you like to take a Ulysses tour in Dublin, I recommend you to consult Robert Nicholson's The "Ulysses" Guide: Tours Through Joyce's Dublin (Dublin: New Island, 1988/2002).


  As Marilyn Reizbaum says in James Joyce's Judaic Other, Deasy's reference to "she [Ireland] never let them [the Jews] in" (U 2.442) should perhaps be read as a metaphor for Jewish exclusion from Irish society (itself a persecutory act) (38).  This was historically true: in 1871 the Jewish population in all of Ireland was 258, and in 1881, 453, mostly of English and German extraction.  But by the year 1901, the estimate was 3,771, most of them (2,200) residing in Dublin, and in 1904, the estimate was probably nearly 4,800.   The sudden influx at the turn of the century resulted from a wave of immigration, primarily from Russia, where Jewish persecution had become acute.  Until then Ireland had not let Jews in, and, with their coming in greater numbers, people began to take such attitudes toward Jews as were prevalent on the Continent, as Reizbaum notes(38).

  Gerald Davis, an Irish Jew, tells in Educational Jewish Aspects of James Joyce's "Ulysses": "I've always felt that there is something special about being Irish.  There is also something special about being Jewish.  To be both, at the same time, is rare" (Davis 2).
  Davis continues:

  ... But then, in strict terms, Bloom was not a Jew; his mother wasn't Jewish.  Neither, according to some of his fellow citizens, was he a proper Irishman.  For Irish Jews this marvelous ambivalence still exists.  When I am in Ireland I am a Jew; when outside, I am an Irishman.  I love that continuing conundrum of identity.  That Joyce should have set such a poser for society is part of his genius.  Indeed real genius should pose more questions than provide answers.  It is only through questioning that we might discover anything of ourselves. (Davis 2)

St. Stephen's Green
  
  St. Stephen's Green (Irish: Faiche Stiabhna) is a city centre public park in Dublin 2.  The park is adjacent to one of Dublin's main shopping streets, Grafton Street, and to a shopping centre named for it, while on its surrounding streets are the offices of a number of public bodies and the city terminus of one of Dublin's LUAS lines.  
  Until 1663 St. Stephenfs Green was a marshy common on the edge of Dublin, used for grazing. In that year Dublin Corporation, seeing an opportunity to raise much needed revenue, decided to enclose the centre of the common and to sell land around the perimeter for building.  The park was enclosed with a wall in 1664.  The houses built around the Green were rapidly replaced by new buildings in the Georgian style and by the end of the eighteenth century the Green was a place of resort for the better-off of the city.  Much of the present-day landscape of the square comprises modern buildings, some in a replica Georgian style, and relatively little survives from the 18th and 19th centuries.  In 1814 control of St. Stephenfs Green park passed to Commissioners for the local householders, who redesigned its layout and replaced the walls with railings.  Access was restricted to local residents, until 1877, when Parliament passed an Act to reopen St. Stephenfs Green to the public, at the initiative of Sir A.E. Guinness, a member of the Guinness brewing family who lived at St. Anne's Park, Raheny and at Ashford Castle. He later paid for the laying out of the Green in approximately its current form, which took place in 1880, and gave it to the Corporation, as representatives of the people.  During the Easter Rising of 1916, a group of insurgents made up mainly of members of the Irish Citizen Army, under the command of Commandant Michael Mallin and his second-in-command Constance Markievicz, established a position in St. Stephen's Green.  They numbered between 200-250.  They confiscated motor vehicles to establish road blocks on the streets that surround the park, and dug defensive positions in the park itself.  This approach differed from that of taking up positions in buildings, adopted elsewhere in the city.  It proved to have been unwise when elements of the British Army took up positions in the Shelbourne Hotel, at the northeastern corner of St. Stephen's Green, overlooking the park, from which they could shoot down into the entrenchments.  Finding themselves in a weak position, the Volunteers withdrew to the Royal College of Surgeons on the west side of the Green.  During the Rising fire was temporarily halted to allow the park's groundsman to feed the local ducks.  (Cited from the site of "Wikipedia")

(Friday 7 August) [CW etc.] Bust of James Clarence Mangan, poet (1 May 1803, Dublin - 20 June 1849), St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2.
  James Joyce wrote two essays on Mangan (1902/1907), and also used his name in his works, e.g. "Araby" in Dubliners.  The significance, it is said, lies in part in Joyce's reluctance to acknowledge influence from the Irish literary tradition: he was otherwise chary of adopting any artistic predecessors.

  Joyce mentioned him several times:
  
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

A tide began to surge beneath the calm surface of Stephen's friendliness.  This race and this country and this life produced me, he said.  I shall express myself as I am.
  --Try to be one of us, repeated Davin.  In your heart you are an Irishman but your pride is too powerful.
  --My ancestors threw off their language and took another, Stephen said.  They allowed a handful of foreigners to subject them.  Do you fancy that I am going to pay in my own life and person debts they made?  What for?
  --For our freedom, said Davin.
  --No honourable and sincere man, said Stephen, has given up to you his life and his youth and his affections from the days of Wolfe Tone to those of Parnell, but you sold him to the enemy or failed him in need or reviled him and left him for another.  And you invite me to be one of you.  I'd see you damned first.
  --They died for their ideals, Stevie, said Davin.  Our day will come yet, believe me.
  Stephen, following his own thought, was silent for an instant...
  ...When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung to hold it back from flight.  You talk to me of nationality, language, religion.  I shall try to fly by those nets ...   Ireland is the old sow that eats her farrow.  (P V;207-208)

(Friday 7 August) Yeats Memorial, St. Stephen's Green, Dublin 2.
  William Butler Yeats (13 June 1865 - 28 January 1939) was an Irish poet and dramatist and one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature.  A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, in his later years Yeats served as an Irish Senator for two terms.  He was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, and along with Lady Gregory and Edward Martyn founded the Abbey Theatre, and served as its chief during its early years.  In 1923, he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Literature for what the Nobel Committee described as "inspired poetry, which in a highly artistic form gives expression to the spirit of a whole nation" and he was the first Irishman so honored.  Yeats is generally considered one of the few writers whose greatest works were completed after being awarded the Nobel Prize; such works include The Tower (1928) and The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1929).

Stephen Hero

  He went off to get more signatures for the Tsar while Cranly and Stephen went out into the garden.  The ball-alley was deserted so they arranged a match of twenty, Cranly allowing Stephen seven points.  Stephen had not had much practice at the game and so he was only seventeen when Cranly cried out 'Game Ball.'  He lost the second game also.  Cranly was a strong, accurate player but Stephen thought too heavy of foot to be a brilliant one.  While they were playing Madden came into the alley and sat down on an old box. He was much more excited than either of the players and kept kicking the box with his heels and crying out "Now, Cranly!  Now, Cranly!"   "But it, Stevie!"  Cranly who had to serve the third game put the ball over the side of the alley into Lord Iveagh's grounds and the game had to wait while he went in search of it.  Stephen sat down on his heels beside Madden and they both looked up at the figure of Cranly who was holding on to the netting and making signals to one of the gardeners from the top of the wall.  Madden took out smoking materials:  (SH XXI, p.115)

River Liffey
  
  The Liffey (Irish: An Life) is a river in Ireland, which flows through the centre of Dublin.  Its major tributaries include the River Dodder, the River Poddle and the River Camac.  The river supplies much of Dublin's water, and a range of recreational opportunities.
  The river was previously named An Ruirthech, meaning "fast (or strong) runner."  The word Liphe (or Life) referred originally to the name of the plain through which the river ran, but eventually came to refer to the river itself.  It was also known as the Anna Liffey, possibly from an Anglicization of Abhainn na Life, the Irish phrase that translates into English as River Liffey.  (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")

The Four Courts
  
  The Four Courts, Inns Quay, was built between 1796 and 1802 by renowned architect James Gandon, who built The Custom House.  The lands were previously used by the King's Inns.  The building originally housed the four courts of Chancery, King's Bench, Exchequer, and Common Pleas, hence the name of the building.   A major revision in the legal structures in the late nineteenth century saw these courts replaced, but the building retained its historic name.   The new courts system remained until 1924, when the new Irish Free State which had replaced British rule introduced a new courts structure, replacing the old High Court of Ireland, the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland and the Lord Chancellor of Ireland with a new Supreme Court presided over by the Chief Justice and a High Court of Justice, presided over by the President of the High Court.
  The Four Courts were seized by Commandant Ned Daly's 1st Battalion during the Easter Rising in 1916.  They survived the bombardment by British artillery that destroyed large parts of the city centre.  In April 1922 they were occupied by Republican forces led by Rory O'Connor who opposed the Anglo-Irish Treaty.  After several months of a stand-off, the new Provisional Government attacked the building to dislodge the rebels, on the advice of the Commander-in-Chief of the Irish Army, Michael Collins.  This provoked a week of fighting in Dublin.  In the process of the bombardment the historic building was destroyed.  Most dramatically however, when the anti-Treaty contingent were surrendering, the west wing of the building was obliterated in a huge explosion, destroying the Irish Public Record Office which was located at the rear of the building.  It has been alleged that the Republicans deliberately booby-trapped its priceless Irish archives, which were stored in the basement of the Four Courts.  Nearly one thousand years of irreplaceable archives were destroyed by this act.  However, the insurgents, who included future Irish Taoiseach Sean Lemass denied this accusation and argued that while they had used the archive as a store of their ammunition, they had not deliberately mined it.  They suggest that that the explosion was caused by the accidental detonation of their ammunition store during the fighting.  For a decade, the old courts system (until 1924), then the new Free State courts system, was based in the old viceregal apartments in Dublin Castle.  In 1932, a rebuilt and remodeled Four Courts was opened again.
  Though one of Dublin's most notable and impressive buildings, the Four Courts was for many decades poorly maintained.   Its exterior still shows the effects of the events of 1922, with its facade containing bullet holes, which deliberately were not removed to remind people of its complex history.  (Cited from the site of "Wikipedia")

Oliver St. John Gogarty
  
  [U] Oliver St. John Gogarty, Bar, Restaurant, and Accommodation, 58/59 Fleet Street, Temple Bar, Dublin 2 (est. 1835 by Philip Lawlor as a hotel here).  The Gogarty pub was established around 1930 when Gogarty was busily engaged in affairs of state as a senator in Seanad Eireann.  So this pub is not directly connected to the works of James Joyce.
  Oliver Joseph St John Gogarty (August 17, 1878 - September 22, 1957) was an Irish poet, author, otolaryngologist, athlete, politician, and well-known conversationalist, who served as the inspiration for Buck Mulligan in Ulysses.  Like Joyce he was educated at Clongowes Wood College for a time (1896-1898), and in 1898 he switched to the medical school at Trinity College.
  A highly-visible and distinctive Dublin character during his lifetime, Gogarty appears in a number of memoirs penned by his contemporaries, notably George Moore's Hail and Farewell, where he goes both by his own name and by the pseudonym "Conan."  His most famous literary incarnation, however, is as Buck Mulligan, the irrepressible roommate of Stephen Dedalus in James Joyce's Ulysses.  Mulligan quotes a number of songs and poems known to have been written by Gogarty, the most famous of which, "The Song of the Cheerful (But Slightly Sarcastic) Jesus," was originally sent to Joyce as a belated Christmas peace offering after their quarrels of 1904.  Other details, such as Mulligan's Hellenism, his status as a medical student, his history of saving men from drowning, his friendship with George Moore, and the metrical arrangement of his full name (Malachi Roland St. John Mulligan) parallel Gogarty's biography.  The living arrangements of Mulligan and Stephen, however, differ sharply from those of Joyce and Gogarty; in Ulysses, Stephen Dedalus is the rentpayer and breadwinner of the Martello Tower off whom Mulligan carelessly sponges, an almost complete reversal of Joyce and Gogarty's actual positions during the summer of 1904.  Due to his influence on Joyce (he is also sometimes cited as an inspiration for Dubliners character Ignatius Gallagher and Exiles antagonist Robert Hand), Gogarty's name often comes up in Joyce scholarship, though Gogarty's own editors and biographers complain that these references are frequently inaccurate, owing to Gogarty-related errata in Richard Ellmann's biography James Joyce (1959/1982) and a tendency to conflate the real-life Gogarty with the fictional character of Buck Mulligan.  (Cited from the site of "Wikipedia")

Malahide Castle
  
  Malahide Castle, parts of which date to the 12th century, lies, with over 260 acres (1.1 sq km) of remaining estate parkland (the Malahide Demesne Regional Park), close to the village of Malahide, nine miles (14 km) north of Dublin in Ireland.
  The estate began in 1185, when Richard Talbot, a knight who accompanied Henry II to Ireland in 1174, was granted the "lands and harbour of Malahide."  The oldest parts of the castle date back to the 12th century and it was home to the Talbot family for 791 years, from 1185 until 1976, the only exception being the period from 1649-1660, when Oliver Cromwell granted it to Miles Corbet after the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland; Corbet was hanged following the demise of Cromwell, and the castle was restored to the Talbots.  The building was notably enlarged in the reign of Edward IV, and the towers added in 1765.  The estate survived such losses as the Battle of the Boyne, when fourteen members of the owner's family sat down to breakfast in the Great Hall, and all were dead by evening, and the Penal Laws, even though the family remained Roman Catholic until 1774.
  In the 1920s the private papers of James Boswell were discovered in the castle, and sold to American collector Ralph H. Isham by Boswell's great-great-grandson Lord Talbot of Malahide.  Malahide Castle and Demesne was eventually inherited by the seventh Baron Talbot and on his death in 1973, passed to his sister, Rose.  In 1975, Rose sold the castle to the Irish State, partly to fund inheritance taxes.  Many of the contents, notably furnishings, of the castle, had been sold in advance, leading to considerable public controversy, but private and governmental parties were able to retrieve some.  (Quoted from the site of "Wikipedia")

Howth
  
  Howth (Irish: Binn Eadair) is an area in the Fingal County Council administrative area of County Dublin, Ireland.  Originally just a small fishing village and surrounding rural district,  Howth is now a busy suburb of Dublin, with a mix of dense residential development and wild hillside.  The only neighbouring district on land is Sutton, also on the Howth peninsula.
  Howth is located on the peninsula of Howth Head, which begins around 13 kilometers (8.1 mi) east-north-east of Dublin city, on the north side of Dublin Bay.  The village itself is located 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) from Dublin city centre (the ninth of a series of milestones from the GPO is in the village itself), and spans most of the northern part of Howth Head, which is connected to the rest of Dublin via a narrow strip of land (or tombolo) at Sutton Cross.  (Referred to the site of "Wikipedia")

Poolbeg Generating Station (Pigeon House)
  
  [U 03&12; FW I.2, I.8 & III.2] Poolbeg Generating Station (Irish: Cumhachtstaisiun an Phoill Bhig, meaning "power station of the Small Hole") is a power station owned and operated by the Electricity Supply Board of the Republic of Ireland.  There are two stations on the site, the older thermal station containing units 1, 2, and 3 and the combined cycle gas station containing units CG14, CG15 and ST16, which is located toward the eastern end of the site. The six units have a total installed capacity of 1020 MW.
  The plant is located on the Poolbeg peninsula in Ringsend, Dublin, on the south bank of Dublin Port.  Its two chimneys, at just over 207 meters, are visible over much of Dublin, particularly Sandymount Strand, making them well-known landmarks and some of the tallest structures in Ireland.
Poolbeg is situated adjacent to the now-decommissioned Pigeon House generating station, where electricity was first generated in 1903.  The Pigeon House was previously a military barracks and the officers accommodation building still exists.  It was used for power generation until it was decommissioned in 1976, and the Poolbeg plant is still known locally as the Pigeon House.
  The thermal station chimneys are among the tallest structures in Ireland and are visible from most of Dublin city.  (Cited from the site of "Wikipedia")
