Dublin’s Hidden Literary Neighbourhoods
There are places in Dublin where the city’s literary heritage is obvious: Joyce’s Martello tower, for instance, or in any of the famous literary pubs. However, there are also hidden literary neighbourhoods, streets rich with literary associations that may not be quite so obvious. This year’s UNESCO City of Literature Lecture explores two of the quieter parts of the city – one on the north side, one on the south side – to discover the literary stories that hide in plain sight.
