The primary city of the Republic for most of its thousand-year history, it experienced a rapid expansion in the eighteenth century. Dublin is a capital city rich in culture, as seen by the numerous theaters, museums, art galleries and cinemas. Particularly renowned for its literary history, Dublin has educated such literary figures as James Joyce, who received his degree at the University College Dublin, Bernard Shaw, W.B. Yeats, Jonathan Swift, Oscar Wilde and Samuel Beckett.
