Ulysses. Wordsworth Classics

Ulysses. Wordsworth Classics - Joyce James

This edition of Ulysses includes a new introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of English at the University of Sussex. Joyce follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through Dublin on 16 June 1904, while Bloom's wife Molly conducts an affair, building the novel out of the day's shifting encounters, thoughts and routines.

Dublin in a single day

The book brings together a wide range of episodes and perspectives, moving through the city with Bloom and Stephen. Its structure turns one date and one place into a broad portrait of urban life, private consciousness and ordinary experience.

From obscenity charges to literary acclaim

Initially judged obscene in England and the USA, the novel later came to be recognized as a landmark of literary modernism. W.B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway were among the writers who praised it as a work of genius.

Experimental form, wit and range

Joyce's style is allusive, comic, erudite and formally inventive. The novel is known for its frankness and its restless language, but also for the generosity with which it observes its characters.
