Class Description
In this six-week in-person course, we will tackle Ulysses, Joyce’s modernist celebration of ordinary men and women. We will learn about the most intimate thoughts and actions of Leopold Bloom, Molly Bloom, and Stephen Dedalus, as well as a host of characters ranging from the mysterious Man in the Mackintosh to the dashing womanizer Blazes Boylan. As we think about Joyce’s reworking of the traditional novel, we will consider Ulysses at a variety of scales: schematic outline, narrative form, sentence, and word. Lending support to our exploration will be Joyce’s own crib notes, the 1954 and the 2024 adaptations of Homer’s epic poem Odyssey, and the Cambridge Centenary Ulysses: The 1922 Text with Essays and Notes (available online through the library).
