Description: Glendale Community College would like to invite you to spend 3 weeks on the Emerald Isle this Summer 2009 with professors Dennis Doyle and Sarah McLemore. We will be based in the capital city of Dublin just a stone's throw away from the city center. Our classes will take you through Irish literature, history and culture and our professors will make the literature real as they take you through the richly historic streets of Dublin. Walk the famous walk of Leapold Bloom from Joyce's Ulysses, visit Kilmainan jail and read Yeats's "Easter 1916." Just stepping outside will make these famous authors' words come alive.   See what you are learning and reading about in the architecture, art and museums of this wonderful city.   You will also visit the prehistoric site of Newgrange, ancient Hill of Tara and tour Melifont Abbey and trim Castle. Then enjoy the people, atmosphere and culture with a pint of Guinness at the local pub.
