Ulysses

In this book summary, study guide, character list, Themes are included as bonus. With the publication of his landmark novel, Ulysses, in 1922, James Joyce became a literary celebrity known for his groundbreaking stream-of-consciousness technique and sexually explicit content. Many critics praise the work as one of the finest novels ever written. Until Joyce won landmark court cases in 1934 in the US and 1936 in England, Ulysses was banned for being pornographic. Ulysses features three main characters: Leopold Bloom, Molly Bloom, and Stephen Dedalus. Middle-aged Leopold Bloom works as an advertising salesman and is Jewish. He is married to Molly Bloom. Stephen Dedalus is a teacher and aspiring writing, who was also the main character in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Joyce creates a series of parallels between Ulysses and Homer's Odyssey. Ulysses is the Latin version of the name Odysseus, who is the hero of Homer's epic poem. There are similarities between the experiences of characters Odysseus and Leopold Bloom, Penelope and Mary Bloom, and Telemachus and Stephen Dedal
