Overview

Irish expatriate author of Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake

—From Dubliners,  “A Painful Case” (1914)

Resources

Ulysses

  • Ulysses for Dummies: A humorous and possibly even helpful take on Ulysses.
  • Ulysses Schemata: Various schemata for understanding Ulysses. The Linati and Ellman schemata are most well-accepted.
  • United States v. One Book Called Ulysses, in which Judge Woolsey’s ruled that Ulysses did not violate federal obscenity law

    "But in 'Ulysses',"  Woolsey wrote, "in spite of its unusual frankness, I do not detect anywhere the leer of the sensualist. I hold, therefore, that it is not pornographic." 

Finnegans Wake
