Overview

Part of the Bloom's Literary Places series, this guide combines history, geography and literature to describe the locations in Dublin with the strongest literary roots. Those locations include the haunts of Yeats, Wilde, Joyce and their characters. Bloom (humanities, Yale) introduces the volume with a brief summary of Dublin's literary luminaries. The text is supplemented with maps and photographs of the people and places it describes. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
