About the event

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.
