‘It is a book to which we are all indebted, and from which none of us can escape’ T. S. EliotFollowing the events of one single day in Dublin, 16 June 1904, and what happens to the characters Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses has been censored, attacked, and deemed profoundly subversive and blasphemous. Ceaselessly inventive, hilarious, garrulous, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive, it is simultaneously a great novel, a beacon light of the European avant-garde and a modern Irish epic. This new edition has been reset from the original 1922 text, which is now recognized as a key scholarly and historical document.
‘Language is the hero and heroine – language in constant fluxion, and with a dazzling virtuosity’ Edna O’BrienEdited with a new introduction by Andrew Gibson.
