""Ulysses" is always lauded as one of western culture's most
important books. This collection of essays re-asserts the worth and
vitality of Joyce's monumental text, not because it is challenging
but because it speaks so powerfully to significant present-day
issues: anti-Semitism, film, melodrama, fashion, photography,
silenced women, advertising, and more."--Jennifer Fraser, author of
"Rite of Passage in the Narratives of Dante and Joyce" June 16,
2004, was the one hundredth anniversary of Bloomsday, the day that
James Joyce's novel Ulysses takes place. To celebrate the occasion,
thousands took to the streets in Dublin, following in the footsteps
of protagonist Leopold Bloom. The event also was marked by the
Bloomsday 100 Symposium, where world-renowned scholars discussed
Joyce's seminal work. This volume contains the best, most
provocative readings of Ulysses presented at the conference. The
contributors to this volume urge a close engagement with the novel.
They offer readings that focus variously on the materialist,
historical, and political dimensions of Ulysses. The diversity of
topics covered include nineteenth-century psychology, military
history, Catholic theology, the influence of early film and music
hall songs on Joyce, the post-Ulysses evolution of the one-day
novel, and the challenge of discussing such a complex work amongst
the sea of extant criticism.
