Description
James Joyce's Ulysses is a novel that defies easy categorization. This masterful introduction, now revised to correspond to the definitive new Galber edition, offers a fresh perspective on Joyce's groundbreaking work.
Hugh Kenner explores how Joyce taught himself to write and how we can learn to read his novel in the same way. He delves into topics such as Homeric parallels, episode flow and style, and the enigma of Molly's final word, offering new insights for Joyceans and readers alike.
This book is a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Ulysses and its enduring influence on modern literature. Its revised edition makes it widely available in the United States, providing an opportunity for new readers to engage with this complex and rewarding novel.
