Joyce in America - Cultural Politics and the Trials of Ulysses (Hardcover)

When James Joyce's "Ulysses" was first published in America, it quickly became a dynamic symbol of both modern art and the modern age. Jeffrey Segall skillfully demonstrates how various political, ideological, and religious allegiances influenced the critical reception and eventual canonization of what is perhaps the twentieth century's greatest novel.
In re-creating the polemical debates that erupted, Segall provides a dramatic reminder of just how challenging and controversial "Ulysses" was--and is. Seventy years after "Ulysses" was first banned, the novel remains at the center of contemporary debates among feminist, neo-Marxist, and poststructuralist critics.
Segall allows us the opportunity to view "Ulysses" from the perspective of its early readers, and he also elucidates key moments in recent American cultural history.
