Meeting Point: Merrion Square West bus stop
Duration: 90 minutes

A guided walking tour exploring the who’s, how’s, and why’s of literary censorship in Ireland, during the nineteenth and twentieth century.

Get a taste of some of the great Irish works that got their authors blacklisted, earned condemnation from the church, and were kept out of the public domain by the state’s committee on Evil Literature. Featured writers include national treasures Wilde, Shaw, Beckett, Joyce, Gonne, O’Brien and more.

Starting at Merrion Square West bus stop, this 90-minute guided tour will make you think about current culture through the lens of our history of literary censorship.

Presented as part of our specially curated #Friction series exploring ways of breaking the boundaries of traditional literary forms.
