It was Oscar Wilde who said, "I can resist everything except temptation". I want to tempt you to join me in our Georgian tour that looks at the Dublin of Wilde, Joyce and Bernard Shaw with strong Dutch overtures and the French connection. The city may be in a state of renewal, but its literary giants have helped in no small way to regenerate our communal ability to appreciate the creative talents that they have bequeathed to us. It's when you have that fusion of great creativeness, where the wordsmiths of paradoxical poetry meet the artisans of Georgian genius that you have the quintessential Dublin. Everything and nothing, with the patchwork of historical contradiction that holds it together tantalizingly tearing at the curiosity of its many admirers.
What You'll See Trinity College in passing Nassau Street and The Oranje Nassau Street again and the Capel Street Kid A famous chemist shop The National Gallery The Rutland monument Merrion park and a date with Oscar Government buildings and the great Obelisk Natural History Museum (also called the Dead Zoo) A Dublin pub famous for it's Folk Music A French Huguenots cemetery The Experience The exodus from what was once the fashionable Northside to the more comfortable surroundings of the Southside is part of the odyssey that we expand upon. James Joyce looms large in our story as do other great literary figures. Scientists and prime ministers also get a mention as we take a peek through the looking glass of history. Political intrigue is everywhere to be seen as we expand on the political divisions that shaped the Republic and which still to this day are manifested by the fallout from this very divisive period in Irish history.
