Prototypes for Parody in 'Cyclops': Texts of the Gaelic Revival by Eoin Mc Evoy
This exhibit draws a style-based comparison between two of the many parody passages contained in the 'Cyclops' episode of Ulysses and three important texts of the Celtic Revival period in Ireland: an extract from Lady Gregory's Gods and Fighting Men, a translation of select Irish legends; the proceedings of the third Oireachtas cultural and literary festival; and a letter sent by Archbishop Croke to the founder of the Gaelic Athletics Association, Michael Cusack, pledging his support and discussing the values of Irish and English sports.
The essay outlines the similarities between these original documents and the selected parody passages in 'Cyclops' and offers a short interpretative analysis on the possible meaning of these parodies within the narrative.

The Progression of an Artist as a Young Man: The Musicality of "Sirens"
Over the span of the seven years it took Joyce to write Ulysses, he notably grew as an artist. Joyce found inspiration in the arts, via paintings, poetry, classical music, and other pop cultural influences of the time.
This exhibit details a few of the influences that shaped Joyce's own understanding of his writing. Specifically, this exhibit focuses on the influences that inspired Joyce to modify "Sirens" from a difficult narrative cacophony to a conglomeration of words read to be experienced as music.
