Preface to the Paperback Edition: Memories of Joyce's Dublin
The Dublin of James Joyce was passing from living memory into literary history when this book was being written. On my first visit in 1948 and during the next decade it was still possible to see the city that Joyce portrayed and to enjoy recollections of the old days by survivors, some of them characters in Ulysses. Their accounts contributed greatly to the spirit of my text.
Dublin was then eighteenth-century in appearance and atmosphere. At College Green a policeman with hand signals directed the light traffic of cycles, a few automobiles, occasional vans, and drays (mostly horsedrawn). There were also those ships of the street, the stately trams, so well described by Joyce: "Right and left clanging ringing a doubledecker and a singledeck moved from their railheads, swerved to the down line, glided parallel."
In an obituary tribute to Joyce, his friend Constantine Curran wrote: "If Dublin were destroyed, his words

could rebuild the houses." The thought has become a reality. Leopold Bloom's house has been razed, the Nelson Pillar dynamited, the original Abbey Theatre rebuilt, and much of the old city demolished to be replaced by characterless rows of housing or impersonal concrete office blocks. Gone are the Turkish baths; gone, too, the Grosvenor Hotel and Yeates and Son, where Bloom priced field glasses. "Grafton street gay" is a crowded pedestrian mall. One-way streets make a Joyce tour difficult. A recent guidebook noted that one must now trace the funeral route by foot, since the streets run in the wrong direction. Joyce might have been amused.
Talking to me, Mr. Curran mused, "It's strange to think that a friend of mine became world famous, and so many classmates were prominent here in Ireland." Joyceans tend to accept Joyce's description of University College as only "a day-school of terrorised boys." In fact, as I have written here, Joyce's class included men of legal, political, and literary ability who influenced the emerging nation. Curran himself is a case in point. In addition to his legal career he was a drama critic, a historian, and an expert on the art and architecture of Dublin's golden age in the eighteenth century.
Curran carried his learning lightly. He was a neighbor and close friend of "A. E." (George William Russell), who could put off his prophetic manner and relax into family fun, as did his assistant, the witty Susan Mitchell, both of whom I later depicted in volumes of the Bucknell University Irish Writers series.
