'It is not that Ulysses excludes us; it is, rather, that it
includes us in ways that no other work prepares us for. The
question is not 'what is a novel?', but what can a novel be?
Ulysses is the answer' Patrick McGuinness from his preface to
Ulysses: The Restored Text Initially rejected by several printers
in Dublin and London for containing 'obscene' content, Ulysses was
first published in book form in a limited-edition printing of 1000
copies by Shakespeare and Company in Paris in 1922. A subsequent
printing was impounded by US customs and for a period the novel was
famed for its notoriety rather than its literary achievement. Like
its author, Ulysses exists in a complicated push-pull relationship
with its language - English - and its setting - Ireland. Joyce
returns to the themes that had preoccupied him in previous works,
including nationalism and empire, religion, identity and sex in a
novel which gloriously brings Dublin on June 16th 1904 to the page.
This edition of Ulysses: The Restored Text includes the revisions
that Joyce made to the novel during his lifetime.
