Book Reviews of James Joyce's Ulysses: Critical Essays
Book Review: Scholarly Essays Concerning the James Joyce's Novel Ulysses
Summary: 5 Stars
These essays are mainly for the very well educated in literature who are unduly interested in Ulysses, and/or doing scholarly research on James Joyce. However, even attempting to read these essays does help one to get more meaning out of Joyce's great novel. These essays are hardly any easier to read than the novel itself, but if you have the intelligence and education to understand and appreciate them, it's certainly worth the effort. The essays cover all the chapters of the novel individually--not the novel as a whole--so if there is one particular chapter you are interested in learning more about, or having trouble understanding, you can find an essay that concentrates only on that particular chapter.
Summary of James Joyce's Ulysses: Critical Essays
This book contains eighteen original essays by leading Joyce scholars on the eighteen separate chapters of Ulysses. It attempts to explore the richness of Joyce's extraordinary novel more fully than could be done by any single scholar. Joyce's habit of using, when writing each chapter in Ulysses, a particular style, tone, point of view, and narrative structure gives each contributor a special set of problems with which to engage, problems which coincide in every case with certain of his special interests. The essays in this volume complement and illuminate one another to provide the most comprehensive account yet published of Joyce's many-sided masterpiece.British Books
