Description
Book SynopsisContains eighteen original essays by leading Joyce scholars on the eighteen separate chapters of "Ulysses". This book attempts to explore the richness of Joyce's extraordinary novel. It covers Joyce's habit of using, when writing each chapter in "Ulysses", a particular style, tone, point of view, and narrative structure.
Trade Review"A landmark in interpretation. . . . Never have Joyce's polytropic techniques been explicated with such thoroughness, sensitivity, and sympathy. The result is an achievement of new perspectives. . . . These writers have achieved the seemingly impossible feat of reading
Ulysses afresh. * James Joyce Quarterly *
"Some of the best scholars in the field take a fresh look at Joyce's novel. . . . The collection offers much to evoke the interest of even the most jaded Joyce devotee. It should not be overlooked by any serious scholar of
Ulysses." * Virginia Quarterly Review *
"The essays are remarkably uniform in quality, and consistently reflect a determined effort to move beyond mere explication and develop general notions about the art and meaning of
Ulysses through close examination of specific passages within individual chapters. A well planned, effectively executed 'appreciation' in the best sense of the term, this important volume should prove a very valuable addition to any collection serving serious readers of Joyce." * Library Journal *
