One of the most important works of the
Modernist era, James Joyce's Ulysses was
originally published serially in the
American journal "The Little Review"
from March 1918 to December 1920.
Subsequently published as a book in 1922,
Ulysses chronicles the passage of Leopold
Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary
day, June 16, 1904. While the novel appears largely unstructured at
first glance it is in fact very closely paralleled to Homer's Odyssey,
containing eighteen episodes that correspond to various parts of
Homer's work. Errors within the text have resulted in multiple
publications of revised editions over the course of the 20th-century.
These efforts at revision, however, are not universally accepted as
beneficial with some critics pointing to the original 1922 edition,
from which this edition is drawn, as the most accurate of all
editions. Filled with experimental forms of prose, stream of
consciousness, puns, parodies, and allusions that Joyce himself
hoped would "keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over
what I meant," this expansive work is considered one of the great
works of English literature and a must read for fans of the Modernist
genre. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
