Thomas William Lyster
Thomas William Lyster (1855-1922) was director of the National Library of Ireland in Dublin between 1895 and his retirement in 1920. [1] [2]
He joined the library in 1878 and translated Dunster’s Life of Goethe in 1883. He was editor of a poetry schoolbook, the Intermediate School Anthology.[2]
Although a member of the Church of Ireland, he was used by James Joyce as the model for a "quaker librarian" in his novel Ulysses.
