- Økonomi
James Joyce's short story 'The Dead' is set in the heart of Dublin City on January 6th 1904. As part of
our audio podcast series Barry McGovern takes a walk through the city of 'The Dead' and explores the landscape
which frames the story from 15 Usher's Island to the Gresham Hotel on O'Connell Street. What remains of Joyce's
Dublin today and what inspired his locations? 'The Dead' brings us on a journey from the quays on the River
Liffey looking towards the Phoenix Park and references a city which can still be found today. Have a look at our
slideshow of photographs from the National Library collections and from Dublin today to get a sense of
the city of 'The Dead'.
