JESUIT EDUCATIONS. When I quoted Virginia Woolf that: ULYSSES was “the book of a self-taught working man….”, I did not point out that Joyce in fact had an excellent Jesuit education. This wikipedia article traces his education—reflected in PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST—at Clongowes Woods College, a Jesuit boarding school; at Belvedere College, the Jesuits’ Dublin school; and at University College, the Catholic university in Dublin. Virginia Woolf was dismissing Joyce’s Jesuit education as as worthless.
Kids, it works both ways. Mary Jane’s sister Carol objected to her marrying me because I did not have a Jesuit education.
