Course Description

A career diplomat and author, Daniel Mulhall, who is currently Ireland’s Ambassador to the USA, has written Ulysses: A Reader’s Odyssey (Dublin 2022) with different sets of non-specialist readers in mind – those who have read Joyce’s novel, those who plan to read it and those who may never get to read it, but want to know more about this leviathan of literary modernism. This course is aimed at a full range of readers and especially at those who want to deepen their knowledge of James Joyce and Ulysses, his greatest achievement.  

This course alternates between in person and virtual meetings: 

Apr 25 in person at The Rosenbach 

May 9 virtual on Zoom (from 5:00-6:30 pm EDT)

May 23 virtual on Zoom

Jun 6 in person at The Rosenbach 

Jun 13 in person at The Rosenbach 

Due to the Ambassador’s diplomatic responsibilities, changes to the schedule could occur.  We will do our best to maintain the schedule with as little change as possible.
