'- What is your nation if I may ask, says the citizen. - Ireland,
says Bloom. I was born here. Ireland.' Ulysses, one of the greatest
novels of the twentieth century, has had a profound influence on
modern fiction. In a series of episodes covering the course of a
single day, 16 June 1904, the novel traces the movements of Leopold
Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the streets of Dublin. Each
episode has its own literary style, and the epic journey of
Odysseus is only one of many correspondencies that add layers of
meaning to the text. Today critical interest centres on the
authority of the text, and this edition, complete with an
invaluable introduction, notes, and appendices, republishes without
interference, the original 1922 text. Jeri Johnson's commentary
guides the reader through this highly allusive novel in an edition
acclaimed by scholars and general readers alike. This updated
edition includes new explanatory notes, a revised introduction, and
expanded bibliography. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature
from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Ulysses (James Joyce)
Thu, 7 Jul 2022 | Review
by: Corrie G.
Although not easy reading at first, this is a must-read, gleaning a view from the viewpoint of Joyce, in particular because this year we celebrate the centenary of this masterpiece
