From the creator of UlyssesGuide.com, this essential guide to James
Joyce's masterpiece weaves together plot summaries, interpretive
analyses, scholarly perspectives, and historical and biographical
context to create an easy-to-read, entertaining, and thorough
review of Ulysses. In The Guide to James Joyce's 'Ulysses,' Patrick
Hastings provides comprehensive support to readers of Joyce's
magnum opus by illuminating crucial details and reveling in the
mischievous genius of this unparalleled novel. Written in a voice
that offers encouragement and good humor, this guidebook maintains
a closeness to the original text and supports the first-time reader
of Ulysses with the information needed to successfully finish and
appreciate the novel. Deftly weaving together spirited plot
summaries, helpful interpretive analyses, scholarly criticism, and
explanations of historical and biographical context, Hastings makes
Joyce's famously intimidating novel-one that challenges the
conventions and limits of language-more accessible and enjoyable
than ever before. He unpacks each chapter of Ulysses with episode
guides, which offer pointed and readable explanations of what
occurs in the text. He also deals adroitly with many of the puzzles
Joyce hoped would "keep the professors busy for centuries." Full of
practical resources-including maps, explanations of the old British
system of money, photos of places and things mentioned in the text,
annotated bibliographies, and a detailed chronology of Bloomsday
(June 16, 1904-the single day on which Ulysses is set)-this is an
invaluable first resource about a work of art that celebrates the
strength of spirit required to endure the trials of everyday
existence. The Guide to James Joyce's 'Ulysses' is perfect for
anyone undertaking a reading of Joyce's novel, whether as a
student, a member of a reading group, or a lover of literature
finally crossing this novel off the bucket list.
