** ‘Sherlockholmesing’ Leopold Paula Bloom
Thur, February 27th at 6.30pm
————————————————————
In 2022, an Irish-Jewish model for Bloom was proposed by Neil R. Davison in An Irish-Jewish Politician: Joyce’s Dublin and Ulysses (UP Florida). The Life and Times of Albert L. Altman published by University Press of Florida. Albert Liebes Lascar Altman, a Jewish Dublin businessman and nationalist politician born in Prussian Poland, shared certain similarities with Bloom.
Vincent Altman O’Connor, a Joycean and relative of Albert, will discuss this new model within the broad frame of Cormac Ó Gráda’s (author of Jewish Ireland in the Age of Joyce (2006)), observation that knowledge of Altman ‘opens up a whole new vista on Joyce scholarship’.
Doors open at 6pm. The event is free but booking is essential.
