Overview
In the collection of essays that Kimberly J. Devlin and Marilyn Reizbaum have edited, each of the eighteen contributors, all prominent Joyce scholars, offers new commentary on one of the eighteen episodes in Ulysses. Throughout Ulysses - En-Gendered Perspectives the common critical concern is with varying articulations of "femininities" and "masculinities" in Joyce's modernist epic. Each contributor attends to the extensive and various markings of gender in Ulysses and examines the ways in which such markings generate and engender other meanings.Editorials

Joyce's not Homer's. Joyce specialists offer new commentary on the 18 episodes of the 20th-century novel, highlighting the various articulations of femininities and masculinities in the modernist epic. Treating gender as a form of overwriting, meaning both excess and layering, they explore such aspects as familial roles, labor assignments, perceptual modes, colonialist categories, sexualities, ethnicities, ways of knowing and learning, scents, tastes, and eating habits.
