Ulysses

The next 'Ulysses' course will start September 2024. If you have any questions please contact us.

A love song to Dublin

Following our first successful course on Ulysses we are delighted that there is demand for a second one.  Why do we offer a course on “Ulysses”?  Because Richard believes is probably the greatest novel written in the 20th Century. It is also, at times, almost forbiddingly difficult but it is also a funny, open-hearted, generous and intelligent novel.
Lots of people would love to read this fantastic book and many have got as far as picking it up, opening it even, reading the first chapter then running in the opposite direction!
With a little help you will be able not only to read it but to enjoy it.

The second Ulysses course starts September 2024. Later admissions are possible. Please, contact us for more information or visit our FAQs.
