Prof. Brian Arkins: Joyce, Ulysses, Galway and Aédin Moloney’s Performance

Episode 17. Brian Arkins is a Professor Emeritus of Classics at the University of Galway. He was educated at Clongowes Wood College and at University College Dublin, where he obtained an M.A. in Classics and a Ph.D in Latin. He is the author of 14 books and counting.

Brian will give a lecture in Galway Arts Centre at 6pm on Bloomsday, June 16, 2023. The lecture will be entitled ‘The Prototypes of Joyce’s Character, Leopold Bloom’.  Admission will be free.

Although Brian has been on the radio many times this is his first podcast appearance. We are thankful that we were given the opportunity to have had so many insights into Ulysses shared by Brian.

Furthermore, given that the conversation took place the day after Aédin Moloney’s spellbinding performance of ‘Yes! Reflections Of Molly Bloom’, we are privy to an extra layer of understanding of this densely faceted masterpiece.
