James Joyce was educated by the Jesuit fathers in Clongowes Wood College, Belvedere College and University College Dublin. These institutions and priests associated with them figure prominently in Joyce’s writings. In this lecture “Joyce and the Jesuits,” part of the Patrick Finn Lectures Series, Fr. Bruce Bradley S.J. discusses his deep and complicated relationship with the Jesuits on Tuesday, June 17th at 7.30pm in St. Mary’s Parish, Haddington Road, Ballsbridge.
Fr. Bruce Bradley S.J. is a former editor of Studies, the highly-regarded Jesuit journal, and the author of James Joyce’s Schooldays (1982). The venue for his lecture features in Joyce’s short story “The Dead”: “Mary Jane, who was then a little girl in short clothes, was now the main prop of the family, for she had the organ in Haddington Road.”
The event is free and open to the public.
