About the Book

A survey of foundational theory on James Joyce's Ulysses

This collection of essays reviews the state of theory on James Joyce's Ulysses more than 100 years after the fictitious Leopold Bloom steps into the novel, a day Joyceans celebrate as Bloomsday. The contributors—well known for their work in James Joyce studies—each provide three assessments in their areas of specialization: a history of the best criticism to date, an updating of critical positions, and an agenda for future examination. In clear, accessible language, the collection examines the insights readers can expect from particular modes of inquiry and offers an informed view of theoretical approaches and interpretive trends.

For new Joyce scholars, the book provides a highly readable summary of existing criticism. For seasoned Joyceans, it offers an important review of the methodologies that have made significant contributions to understanding the novel.

Review :

“Presents Joyce enthusiasts another useful tool with which to probe the myriad folds of meaning in Ulysses. . . . Recommended.”—Choice

“Suppl[ies] a panoramic survey of the field that should be of great interest both to veteran Joyceans, many of whom figure prominently in the narrative of critical history these pages trace, as well as to those who are comparatively new to the conversation but for that precise reason are all the more intent on knowing its backgrounds and current contexts.”—James Joyce Quarterly

“Provide[s] readers of Joyce’s Bloomsday Book, newcomers and veterans alike, with an invaluable survey of the relevant critical terrain and with a map for future exploration.”—English Literature in Transition, 1880–1920

“The collection offers a most valuable resource for undergraduates and, perhaps, graduate students daunted at the challenge of beginning work on Joyce. . . . An important addition to any university library.”—Modernism/Modernity
