Book Description
Julie Sloan Brannon examines the Joyce Wars as a fascinating nexus of the conflicts between scholars and ordinary readers, and one that illuminates the existence of ulysses-and by extension, Joyce-as an example of Lyotard's differend, an icon that exists simultaneously in two separate yet contradictory discourses, each of which silences the other. The Academic Joyce is radically different from the Public Joyce, and yet neither could exist independently. Tangled up in this conflicted space are the interests of the common reader, a nebulously defined entity, and the continuing controversies illustrate the strange relationship between academics, readers, and editors. Who Reads Ulysses? calls for us to look not only at questions of authorship raised by editorial theory, but to look carefully at who reads ulysses-and why they read it. This volume provides fruitful ways to explore the subversive nature of text for readers, both in and out of the academy.

Book Description
Ulysses by James Joyce. One of the most important books of the 20 century. The Ulysses of James Joyce is usually seen as one of the most important and complicated work in the modern novel sector even if not all the critic agree on including it on the novel sector. The reason of this debate is mainly related to the style used by the author. During the three main parts of the book (Telemachiad, Odyssey and The Nostos) thoughts of main characters keep on flowing without any rest. Most of the time the interior monologue of a character goes on for pages and pages in a kind of inspired chaos. When we analyze the main story it appears to be pretty simple: is the story of a group of people who (apparently) for a coincidence end up meeting each other in Dublin and end up changing each other lives. All the story is created on just a specific day. Is obviously clear that the main finality of his book wasn't to talk about something innovative, the truth is that this work was, for the author, just a prelude to what Joyce will consider as his best work: "Finnegans Wake." The fact that this work was the way, for Joys, to train himself for the next work strongly contributed to make it seems so hard to read and to understand at a deeper level. All the book is made and built as an experiment, a work without too many rules where the main aim is to find a way to let thoughts flow, following a free but somehow built river of words. At first the book was published on a magazine as an episodes novel; the first publication, anyway, will receive a strong stop with the thirteenth chapter when the magazine will be accused to publish obscenities due to the very particular target of this novel. The magazine, forced to defend itself and its reputation will stop from publish the novel . Meanwhile Joyce will finish to write last chapters and the book will finally be published in the 1922 (almost 2 years later). Even with all the critics and the problems arise during the first period of the publication nowadays this work is considered as a masterpiece and is studied as an example of complexity and often the knowledge of this book is seen as a sign of culture and intelligence due to its difficulty.

Book Description
The Original 1922 Edition. Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early twentieth-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel imitates registers of centuries of English literature and is highly allusive. Since publication, Ulysses has attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from early obscenity trials to protracted textual "Joyce Wars". Ulysses' stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose - full of puns, parodies, and allusions - as well as its rich characterization and broad humor, made the book a highly regarded novel in the modernist pantheon. Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate 16 June as Bloomsday. In 1998, the American publishing firm Modern Library ranked Ulysses first on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

Book Description
Reissued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday, Reading Joyce's 'Ulysses' includes a new preface taking account of scholarly and critical development since its original publication. It shows how the now important issues of post-colonialism, feminism, Irish Studies and urban culture are addressed within the text, as well as a discussion of how the book can be used by both beginners and seasoned readers. Schwarz not only presents a powerful and original reading of Joyce's great epic novel, but discusses it in terms of a dialogue between recent and more traditional theory. Focusing on what he calls the odyssean reader, Schwarz demonstrates how the experience of reading Ulysses involves responding both to traditional plot and character, and to the novel's stylistic experiments.

Book Description
The New Joyce Studies indicates the variety and energy of research on James Joyce since the year 2000. Essays examine Joyce's works and their reception in the light of a larger set of concerns: a diverse international terrain of scholarly modes and methodologies, an imperilled environment, and crises of racial justice, to name just a few. This is a Joyce studies that dissolves early visions of Joyce as a sui generis genius by reconstructing his indebtedness to specific literary communities. It models ways of integrating masses of compositional and publication details with literary and historical events. It develops hybrid critical approaches from posthuman, medical, and queer methodologies. It analyzes the nature and consequences of its extension from Ireland to mainland Europe, and to Africa and Latin America. Examining issues of copyright law, translation, and the history of literary institutions, this volume seeks to use Joyce's canonical centrality to inform modernist studies more broadly.

Book Description
With the publication of his landmark novel, Ulysses, in 1922, James Joyce became a literary celebrity known for his groundbreaking stream-of-consciousness technique and sexually explicit content. Many critics praise the work as one of the finest novels ever written. Until Joyce won landmark court cases in 1934 in the US and 1936 in England, Ulysses was banned for being pornographic.Ulysses features three main characters: Leopold Bloom, Molly Bloom, and Stephen Dedalus. Middle-aged Leopold Bloom works as an advertising salesman and is Jewish. He is married to Molly Bloom. Stephen Dedalus is a teacher and aspiring writing, who was also the main character in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.Joyce creates a series of parallels between Ulysses and Homer's Odyssey. Ulysses is the Latin version of the name Odysseus, who is the hero of Homer's epic poem. There are similarities between the experiences of characters Odysseus and Leopold Bloom, Penelope and Mary Bloom, and Telemachus and Stephen Dedalus. In short, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom as he goes from place to place in Dublin over the course of June 16, 1904, from 8 a.m. until 3 a.m. Joyce chose that particular day because it wasthe day of his first date with his wife, Nora Barnacle. The date has become known as Bloomsday, an annual celebration of James Joyce, and is observed in Dublin and around the world.Ulysses is not short;it is approximately 265,000 words in length, divided into three parts: The Telemachiad, the Odyssey, and The Nostos. The novel is also divided into eighteen episodes. Even the episode titles are long and difficult to decipher. Each episode's title comes from a character or incident in Homer's Odyssey and is also is labeled with the time it took place and location. Many episode titles also include a bodily organ, art, color, symbol, and literary technique. For example, Telemachus (8:00 a.m.; the Tower; theology; white, gold; heir; narrative [young]). In addition, the stream-of-consciousness technique makes Ulysses a difficult read. The novel is also full of puns, parodies, and allusions.Stephen Dedalus leaves for work. He gives his friend Buck Mulligan his house key, and they agree to meet at the pub at 12:30.Stephen teaches a history class at Garret Deasy's boys' school around 10 a.m. After class, Stephen gets paid by Deasy. He also agrees to share an editorial piece on cattle disease written by Deasy with acquaintances at the newspaper. Stephen spends the rest of the morning walking on Sandymount Strand, thinking and composing a poem.The same morning, Leopold brings Molly her breakfast and her mail in bed. Blazes Boylon, Molly's concert tour manager, writes that he will visit at 4 p.m. Leopold reads a letter from Milly, their daughter.At 10 a.m., Leopold picks up a love letter from Martha Clifford at the post office. He reads the letter in a church and goes to the pharmacy for lotion for Molly. He runs into Bantam Lyons, with whom he discusses a horse race.At 11 a.m., Leopold attends a funeral. during which he thinks about the deaths of both his father and son.At noon, both Leopold and Stephen are at the offices of the Freeman newspaper. Leopold is negotiating an ad, and Stephen is there with Deasy's letter.At 1 p.m., Leopold bumps into a former girlfriend, and they discuss Mina Purefoy, who is in labor. He eats lunch at Davy Byrne's. He goes into the National Library to avoid Blazes Boylon, who in addition to being Molly's concert manager is also her suspected lover...

Book Description
This unusual book is a fascinating work of personal criticism or "biblio-memoir" which will appeal to all interested in James Joyce's work, and, more widely, to those interested in responses to great art. It focusses on the life-long appeal of a particular work of art on a single individual who has been a leading Joyce scholar for 40 years. Professor Groden has taught Ulysses to undergraduates, to graduate students, and to adults outside of universities in a long and distinguished career. He is the author of two often-cited scholarly books on Joyce's novel, and he has overseen the 63-volume facsimile reproduction of his manuscripts. Groden says: "I've often been asked why I've devoted so much of my life to Joyce's novel. The Necessary Fiction tries to answer that question. I wrote the book partly with seasoned readers and scholars of Ulysses in mind, but I aimed it especially at readers who desire to read, have attempted to read, or have even succeeded in reading Joyce's novel and who will welcome an accessible, very personal introduction to it as well as a case for reading or rereading it." "A neologism that has been applied to my work - 'autobloomography' - captures what I am trying to do in The Necessary Fiction. "The first half of the book considers various possible reasons for Ulysses'powerful impact on me when I read it as a 19-year-old undergraduate at Dartmouth College and later worked on Joyce's manuscripts for his novel as a graduate student at Princeton University. This section deals with each reason in relation to a significant person in my early life. "The second half discusses Ulysses' continuing fascination for me in my professional adult life as a university professor and Joyce scholar. Throughout the book, I've interspersed accounts of my life with Ulysses with analyses of the novel itself." The Necessary Fiction is some 79,000 words long with an additional 9,600-word appendix that provides a chapter-by-chapter summary of Ulysses.

Book Description
This strikingly illustrated edition presents Joyce’s epic novel in a new, more accessible light, while showcasing the incredible talent of a leading Spanish artist. The neo-figurative artist Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018), regarded today as one of the greatest Spanish painters of his generation, dreamed of illustrating James Joyce’s Ulysses. Although he began work on the project in 1989, it was never published during his lifetime: Stephen James Joyce, Joyce’s grandson and the infamously protective executor of his estate, refused to allow it, arguing that his grandfather would never have wanted the novel illustrated. In fact, a limited run appeared in 1935 with lithographs by Henri Matisse, which reportedly infuriated Joyce when he realized that Matisse, not having actually read the book, had merely depicted scenes from Homer’s Odyssey. Now available for the first time in English, this unique edition of the classic novel features three hundred images created by Arroyo—vibrant, eclectic drawings, paintings, and collages that reflect and amplify the energy of Joyce’s writing.
