About this event

Join us at the James Joyce Centre for a talk about the links between the Solomons family and James Joyce by former diplomat and historian Francis Jacobs.

While Leopold Bloom was not directly modelled on any member of the Solomons family, they all lived in the same circles in Dublin. Along with portraits of each of the Solomons family, the lecture will look at the links they have, the friends and acquaintances they had in common and their strong social and cultural connections. Francis will also discuss his personal links to the Solomons family being their only direct descendant still living in Dublin.

Francis Jacobs is a historian and former staff member of the European Parliament.

Doors open at 6pm.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
