James Plunkett and Strumpet City: A Talk by Donal Fallon

When Strumpet City made it to our television screens, James Plunkett's masterpiece was filmed and brought to life on Henrietta Street. One of the great Dublin novels of the twentieth century, Plunkett's tale of heroism and resilience in Dublin's tenements tells us much about his own worldview, especially with regard to trade unionist and 1913 Lockout leader Jim Larkin. In this talk, Donal Fallon examines and illuminates the social context of Strumpet City. Donal Fallon is the presenter of the Three Castles Burning podcast, a social history of Dublin. He is the author of 14 Henrietta Street: From Tenement to Suburbia, and a forthcoming history of Dublin in twelve streets with New Island Books.
