Course Description

In 1909, while James Joyce was struggling to get Dubliners published, he opened and managed the Volta Cinema, the first movie theater in Dublin. According to Time Magazine, “he saw every film he could.” Joyce’s writing style may have been inspired by the fanciful films of Georges Méliès. In turn, Joyce’s writings have influenced such filmmakers as John Huston and Martin Scorsese. We will read and study some of Joyce’s works and view and discuss their film adaptations. We will also discuss two adaptations of his major work, Ulysses. The instructor will provide information on how to access free online versions of the written works, both in print and on audio.
