This book is both a study of how James Joyce created two of the
most iconic characters in literature-Leopold Bloom and Marion
Tweedy Bloom-as well as a history of the genesis of Ulysses. From a
genetic critical perspective, it explores the conception and
evolution of the Blooms as fictional characters in the work's wide
range of surviving notes and manuscripts. At the same time, it also
chronicles the production of Ulysses from 1917 to its first edition
in 1922 and beyond. Based on decades of research, it is an original
engagement with the textual archive of Ulysses, including the
exciting, recently discovered manuscripts now in the National
Library of Ireland. The book excavates the raw material and
examines the creative processes Joyce deployed in the construction
of the Blooms and so the writing of Ulysses. Framed by a contextual
introduction and four bibliographical appendices, the seven main
chapters are a critical investigation of the fictional events and
memories that constitute the 'lives' of the Blooms. Thereby, it is
also a commentary on Joyceas conception of Ulysses more generally.
Crispi analyses how the stories in the published book achieved
their final form and discloses previously unexamined versions of
them for everyone who enjoys reading Ulysses. This book
demonstrates the various ways in which specialist textual work on
the genesis of Ulysses directly intersects with other critical and
interpretive readings. Becoming the Blooms is a behind-the-scenes
guide to the creation of one of the most important books ever
written.
