Course Description

At the turn of the 20th century, modernism began to transform every art form. Writers, painters, and musicians experimented with new modes of expression, and many became fascinated by film, the newest artistic medium. In 1909, while struggling to publish Dubliners, James Joyce opened Dublin’s first movie theater. Some of the films he screened likely influenced his innovative narrative style. In turn, Joyce’s work has inspired filmmakers such as John Huston and Martin Scorsese. We will read several stories from Dubliners and discuss their film adaptations, including a screening of Huston’s adaptation of The Dead, which T. S. Eliot called “one of the greatest short stories ever written.”
