Bloomsday is
a commemoration and celebration of the life of Irish writer James Joyce, during which the events of his novel Ulysses, set on 16 June
1904, are relived. It is observed annually on 16 June in Dublin.
James
Joyce chose the date as it was the date of his first outing with his
wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle. The name is derived from Leopold
Bloom,
the protagonist of Ulysses.
Let's take a journey through James Joyce's
Dublin and the events of Bloomsday here.
