Description Daniel Mulhalls introductory guide to Ulysses will offer new and returning readers a handrail into Irelands most famous novel on the occasion of its centenary. Drawing on his extensive experience of lecturing on Joyce to international audiences, he is ideally placed to guide the novice into and through the novel. He deals with all the 18 episodes in sequence, providing historical, stylistic, and biographic detail while always calling up the Homerian counterfoil as well. Using the famous structuring principle of the Odyssey as our guide, Mulhall untangles Ulysses from its infamous reputation of impenetrability, and shows us the joy it can offer. This book is a studious and loving exploration and guide through Joyces greatest work. By breaking down the book chapter by chapter, walking us through the historical context, the literary references, the intricate plot and the wonderful humour in Joyces text, Ulysses: A Readers Odyssey opens up this work to a whole new raft of readers.
