Beskrivning

Ulysses remains less widely read than most texts boasting such a canonical status, largely due to misunderstanding about how to read it, and this guide provides an easy to follow remedy. By showing how Joyce reacted to the historical and cultural context in which he was situated, the radical nature of his use of language is laid bare in a chapter-by-chapter analysis of Ulysses. This approach enables the student reader to read and enjoy the novel's plurality of styles and to understand the terms of critical debate surrounding the nature and significance of Joyce's novel.

Recensioner i media

‘In the canon of twentieth-century literature, Joyce's work is unignorable, but daunting to many. This fresh, lively, lucid introduction to Ulysses is admirably aware of the critical literature, particularly recent postcolonial and historical approaches, and is equipped with a helpful apparatus for beginners.' - Andrew Gibson, Research Professor of Modern Literature and Theory, Royal Holloway, University of London, and former Segal Professor of Irish Literature at Northwestern University, USA
