This book contains eighteen original essays by leading Joyce
scholars on the eighteen separate chapters of "Ulysses." It
attempts to explore the richness of Joyce's extraordinary novel
more fully than could be done by any single scholar. Joyce's habit
of using, when writing each chapter in "Ulysses, " a particular
style, tone, point of view, and narrative structure gives each
contributor a special set of problems with which to engage,
problems which coincide in every case with certain of his special
interests. The essays in this volume complement and illuminate one
another to provide the most comprehensive account yet published of
Joyce's many-sided masterpiece.
Drama starring Eddie Izzard, Laura Fraser and Julian Rhind-Tutt.
When Robert Watson-Watt (Izzard) pioneered his radar system that
could detect the enemy during war, he hand-picked a team of
meteorologists to help him convince the powers that be that it
could really work. Struggling on a very small budget and battling
personal issues Watson-Watt continued to fight for his dream and by
1939 had developed the world's very first radar system which went
on to prove invaluable in winning the Battle of Britain. The cast
also includes Lesley Harcourt, Alex Jennings and Celyn Jones.

Since its original publication in 1970, Ulysses: the Mechanics of
Meaning has become one of the most talked about, cited, and
respected of commentaries on Joyce's classic work. Its compact
format and its crisp, lucid style make David Hayman's book an
essential one for all new readers of Ulysses. For this new edition
Hayman has added a convenient chapter-by-chapter account of the
action and a substantial afterword extending and amplifying ideas
presented in the original edition and briefly summarizing the
current critical scene. This makes the book of additional value
both to sudents and to the many Joyce scholars who have long
depended on the Prentice-Hall edition, now out of print.
