Dublin, UNESCO City of Literature

Share this

Dublin has been designated a UNESCO City of Literature, one of only four in the world. The sought after accolade recognises Dublin’s cultural profile and its international standing as a city of literary excellence. Birthplace of James Joyce and Nobel Prize for Literature winners William Butler Yeats, George Bernard Shaw and Samuel Beckett, Dublin’s literary tradition dates back over a thousand years when monks would transcribe the bible into beautiful manuscripts. The best surviving example of which, The Book of Kells dating from 800 AD, is on show at Trinity College.
