![]() ![]() ![]() You will join those for whom Joyce's great novel, widely regarded as the most influential and important literary work of the 20th century, has become a lasting part of your intellectual and reading life. While Ulysses and the ensuing discussion will challenge you, I urge you to persevere in your reading. I have also written on Joyce in my Reconfiguring Modernism- Explorations in the Relationship Between Modern Art and Modern Literature and in my book The Transformation of the English Novel 1890 to 1930. My edition of Joyce's The Dead in the Bedford series Case Studies in Contemporary Critics, for which I wrote three of the seven accompanying essays, is widely used in classes. A new edition will appear in 2004 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the day in 1904, June 16, when the action of Ulysses takes place. I am the author of Reading Joyce's Ulysses, a critical book for scholars, teachers, and students that has been in print for 16 years. And I have been teaching Ulysses at Cornell for over 30 years. ![]()
