Description
Begin your tour in historic Dublin, where you’ll be introduced to the city’s earliest literary voices and the social world that shaped them. Start with Jonathan Swift and 18th-century satire near St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and trace Dublin’s literary evolution through Georgian society and the rise of Irish cultural identity.
Continue through Trinity College and College Green, examining education, class, and nationalism, before moving through other charming Dublin streets connected to publishers, bookshops, and writers including James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, W.B. Yeats, and the Literary Revival that placed Ireland at the center of world literature.
Following the guided walk, enjoy a 1-hour traditional afternoon tea in and around Merrion Square — a neighborhood steeped in literary and political history.
Conclude your experience with timed entry to the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), where you can explore Ireland’s written heritage independently, including rare manuscripts and the first edition of Ulysses.
