“When I die Dublin will be written in my heart,” James Joyce once proclaimed of his homeland. The spirit of Ireland has inspired legions of storytellers for centuries and The Rosenbach is home to an incredible collection of their work. To celebrate Bloomsday 2021, we’ll explore a wide array of holdings like Bram Stoker’s handwritten notes for his gothic classic Dracula, unravel correspondence from the iconic and incomparable Oscar Wilde, and, of course, take a close look at one of our most famous holdings, Joyce’s manuscript of his Modernist masterpiece Ulysses. The influence of these authors continues to be felt far beyond Ireland’s rugged shores. Together we’ll discuss their enduring resonance and even discover some surprising connections to Thomas Jefferson, Herman Melville, and more.
