Overview

With characteristic flair, Kenner explores the ways Joyce teaches us to read his novel as Joyce taught himself to write it: moving from the simple to the complex, from the familiar to the strange and new, from the norms of the nineteenth-century novel to the open forms of modernism.

This interpretation of Joyce's masterpiece by a leading Joycean scholar is revised to correspond to the definitive new Gabler edition of Ulysses.

Editorials

Times Literary Supplement

Page for page, the most illuminating book yet written about Joyce's novel... No one in nearly sixty years of intense critical activity has seen more than Kenner, or has described what he has seen with greater love and enthusiasm.
