Another Irish Centenary

Today is the 100th anniversary of the publication of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce. To mark the centenary, a new multimedia version of the novel, specially commissioned and published by the UCD School of English, Drama and Film, will be released. The full audio recording, the text as it was first published, as well as maps, rare period images and commentary on Joyce’s Dublin is now available, free of charge, from www.JoycePortrait100.com.

This digital version contains an audio version of the full novel, read by acclaimed Irish actor Barry McGovern and his son Sam McGovern. It is a collaboration between Athena Media and a team of researchers from UCD’s School of English, Drama and Film and the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, led by Prof Gerardine Meaney. The team specialises in using computational methods to examine a large collection of 19th- and early 20th-century novels. You can find out more at www.nggprojectucd.ie.
