Israel-Ireland
What is the relationship between Ireland and Israel in James Joyce's Ulysses? Professor Matthew Campbell thinks about this question in this video.
In the fourth chapter of Ulysses, we meet Leopold Bloom.
Bloom has Jewish heritage and, throughout his day, contends with anti-Semitic taunts, jeers, and jokes from a contemptuous and intolerant Dublin population.
Why did Joyce choose to write about a character from the small Jewish-Irish population? What is the relationship between Ireland and Israel in James Joyce’s Ulysses?
In this video, Professor Matthew Campbell introduces us to Leopold Bloom and considers the significance of his Jewish identity.
