Ideal for readers new to Ulysses and written with a depth of
knowledge invaluable to scholars, "Ulysses" Unbound is a clear and
comprehensive guide to James Joyce's masterpiece from one of the
foremost Dublin-based Joyce experts. Terence Killeen discusses the
novel's eighteen episodes individually. For each episode, Killeen
provides a brief narrative summary along with an account of the
parallels from Homer's Odyssey. Next, he devotes attention to the
episode's unique style, in recognition of the novel's remarkable
stylistic diversity. He also includes a commentary section that
surveys the episode's principal themes and function within the
broader context of the development of the work as a whole. These
sections are followed by notes that help explain some of the main
characters and historical events in the text, illuminating the real
people who provided so much of the book's material. Glossaries
define many of the foreign language terms that pepper the text.
Mindful of the needs of readers tackling Ulysses for the first
time, Killeen begins his treatment of the episodes simply and
expands his discussions as the novel's text expands. He concludes
with an overall reading of Ulysses that considers possible
approaches to interpreting the book in its entirety. The guide also
features a brief account of Joyce's life and a description of the
novel's eventful textual and publishing history. Accessible and
authoritative, "Ulysses" Unbound is an indispensable companion for
both students and specialists.
