This handy guide to Dublin`s architecture is filled with easy-to-follow walks through the city, with clear maps, expert architectural insights & fascinating historical detail, not to mention beautiful h&-drawn illustrations. Themes covered include hidden Dublin (including Isolde`s Tower, the remains of a 13th-century defence tower discovered in the 1990s along with the skulls of a number of young men whose heads had been displayed on spikes); religious buildings (from Christ Church to the burial place of St Valentine); how buildings change their use over time (for example, City Hall, Bank of Ireland & Leinster House); & the buildings involved in the 1916 Rising (including the Royal College of Surgeons, City Hall, Liberty Hall, Kilmainham Gaol &, of course, the GPO). Dublin`s long history has had a visible impact on its architecture: waves of invaders & the attempts by Dubliners to shake them off have left their mark, with the 1916 Easter Rising, for example, having led to the end of British rule but also left whole parts of the city in ruins. Each walk follows on from the one before & invites you to emulate Joyce`s Leopold Bloom in strolling through the city. ...

Dublin has many histories: for a thousand years a modest urban settlement on the quiet waters of the Irish Sea, for the last four hundred it has experienced great
- & often astonishing
- change. Once a fulcrum of English power in Irel&, it was also the location for the 1916 insurrection that began the rapid imperial retreat. That moment provided Joyce with the setting for the greatest modernist novel of the age, Ulysses, capping a cultural heritage which became an economic resource for the brash ` Tiger Town` of the 1990s. David Dickson`s magisterial survey of the city`s history brings Dublin to life from its medieval incarnation through the glamorous eighteenth century, when it reigned as the ` Naples of the North`, through to the millennium. He reassesses 120 years of Anglo-Irish Union, in which Dublin
- while economic capital of Ireland
- remained, as it does today, a place in which rival creeds & politics struggled for supremacy. Dublin reveals the rich & intriguing story behind the making of a capital city.

Joyce`s first major work, Dubliners was written when he was only twenty-five, & brought his city to the world for the first time. His stories are rooted in the rich detail of Dublin life, portraying ordinary, often defeated lives with unflinching realism. He writes of social decline, sexual desire & exploitation, corruption & personal failure, yet creates a brilliantly compelling, unique vision of the world & of human experience. ...

Living overseas but writing, always, about his native city, Joyce made Dublin unforgettable. The stories in Dubliners show us truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses, corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians, struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic brutishness, sentimental aunts & poets, patriots earnest or cynical, & people striving to get by. In every sense an international figure, Joyce was faithful to his own country by seeing it unflinchingly & challenging every precedent & piety in Irish literature. ...
