Dublin Gets Nod for Literature
By Linda Tancs
A city like Dublin is defined by its literary giants–writers like James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, William Butler Yeats and Oscar Wilde. No doubt that’s why UNESCO has seen fit to award the city with the designation City of Literature. One of only four cities in the world so designated, the move might increase tourism to an island hard hit by the worldwide economic meltdown. What better way to celebrate the city’s new moniker than by taking a walking tour of literary Dublin, beginning at the Writer’s Museum at Parnell Square and ending at Trinity College where many of the legends were educated. Just two hours of your time to experience a timeless treasure.
