Dublin has always had a way with words. From poets and playwrights to novelists and storytellers, generations of writers have drawn inspiration from its streets, squares and characters. The tour takes in many iconic – and sometimes surprising – places connected with Dublin’s rich literary heritage and the early development of writing in Ireland. Along the way, discover the stories behind Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Dickens, Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu and many other celebrated writers, as we pass by the streets, homes and landmarks associated with their lives and work.
