Walking where Joyce's characters walked in Ulysses is a different experience and a very helpful one too, when you first tackle a difficult work of literature. That's where the Early Start Semester Programme at University College Cork (UCC) comes in. The programme is designed to introduce you to Irish literature studies in a unique way so that when you come to study with us full time, you already have an edge. It is an intensive pre-session, one month course which runs yearly from late August to mid-September. There are six Early Start Programmes for visiting students to choose from: Archaeology, Literature, History, Folklore, Music and Management and Marketing. Literatures in Ireland introduces visiting students to a wide range of Irish writing. This year the concentration is on twentieth--century Irish fiction, and in particular on James Joyce's novel Ulysses. Although Ulysses is considered one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, students often approach it with trepidation, because of its reputed difficulty. This class makes Joyce's innovative and compelling work accessible and enjoyable. Having read the work in class we spend three days in Dublin walking in the footsteps of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus. Meandering through the city, novels in hand, we bring the settings and the story to life and thus recreate the events in Ulysses almost one hundred years after Joyce had imagined them.

This digital atlas provides literary, historical and cartographic perspectives on Ireland from 1922 to 1949 drawn from the works of fourteen Irish writers. This project is based in the Long Room Hub of Trinity College and provides visual and textual interactive features for academics and the public at large interested in the intersection of literary culture, local history and Irish geography. Map data is hosted in a geographical information system and is linked to the 'aesthetic landscapes' contained in each writer's various works, within an interactive digital platform.
