Molly Bloom's famous soliloquy from James Joyce's Ulysses is a languorous internal monologue, in which the passionate wife of Leopold Bloom meditates on love and life. While Bloom sleeps beside her (head to toe), Molly recalls her many infidelities, including the energetic sexual encounter enjoyed that very afternoon. Though difficult to read straight from the page, Marcella Riordan's beautiful reading of this passage brings out all the wit and passion of one of the finest passages of writing in modern literature.
June 16, 2004, was the one hundredth anniversary of Bloomsday, the day that James Joyce's novel Ulysses takes place. To celebrate the occasion, thousands took to the streets in Dublin, following in the footsteps of protagonist Leopold Bloom. The event also was marked by the Bloomsday 100 Symposium, where world-renowned scholars discussed Joyce's seminal work. This volume contains the best, most provocative readings of Ulysses presented at the conference. The contributors to this volume urge a close engagement with the novel. They offer readings that focus variously on the materialist, historical, and political dimensions of Ulysses. The diversity of topics covered include nineteenth-century psychology, military history, Catholic theology, the influence of early film and music hall songs on Joyce, the post-Ulysses evolution of the one-day novel, and the challenge of discussing such a complex work amongst the sea of extant criticism.
On the fictional morning of June 16, 1904—Bloomsday, as it has come to be known—Mr. Leopold Bloom set out from his home at 7 Eccles Street and began his day’s journey through Dublin life in the pages of James Joyce’s novel of the century, Ulysses. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday, Yes I Said Yes I Will Yes offers a priceless gathering of what’s been said about Ulysses since the extravagant praise and withering condemnation that first greeted it upon its initial publication. From the varied appraisals of such Joyce contemporaries as William Butler Yeats (“It is an entirely new thing. . . . He has certainly surpassed in intensity any novelist of our time”) and Virginia Woolf (“Never did I read such tosh”), to excerpts from Tennessee Williams’ term paper “Why Ulysses is Boring” and assorted wit, praise, parody, caricature, photographs, anecdotes, bon mots, and reminiscence, this treasury of Bloomsiana is a lively and winning tribute to the most famous day in literature.
Offering an audacious new take on Joyce's classic modern novel "Ulysses," Kiberd argues the novel is not an esoteric tome for the scholarly few but rather a work written both about and for the common person, and explains how it can teach readers to live better lives.
This edition offers everything needed by the newcomer to this famous but intimating text: images, maps, footnotes, and introductory essays by eighteen leading Joyceans.
The Female Narrator in the British Novel studies first-person narratives and demonstrates that how a woman tells her story is crucial to our understanding of its content, for a novel's mode of narration frequently undermines its ostensible plot. Analyzing relationships between the sexes in terms of battles for narrative authority, Sternlieb argues for a rethinking of the history of the marriage plot.
The dream-like, comic tale of a family in Ireland, Finnegans Wakeis written in Joyce's unique personal language that echoes and plays with many tongues other than English, and uses parables, phrases, wordplay, puns, ballads, philosophy and religious texts to capture an extraordinary invented world. During the seventeen years of its composition, sections of Finnegans Wakewere re-written and revised countless times by its author, and seventy years after its first publication, this new, critically emended edition has now been produced, taking in three decades of intense study by textual scholars Danis Rose and John O'Hanlon. The Restored Finnegans Wake sees the 20,000 pages of Joyce's notes, drafts and proofs collated and clarified to incorporate the 9,000 minor yet crucial corrections and amendments, including phrasing, spacings and syntax, to reveal in true detail this masterpiece as the author intended it to be read.
