James Joyce's Trees Chris Wogan
Event details
Lost in Joyce? Postgraduate researcher Chris Wogan of the University of York reveals how you can use trees as your map, including for his most difficult texts, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.
By tracing trees through the landscapes of his life and the pages of his works, Chris will explore how first-time readers can find an accessible gateway into his symbolic, spiritual and material world.
Join Chris to discover how in Joyce’s works, trees come to represent organic language structures and the cultural origins of writing.
This event will take place live on Zoom Webinar. You will receive a link to join a couple of days before the event and a reminder an hour before. During the event, you can ask questions via a Q&A function, but audience cameras and microphones will remain muted throughout.
