About this Edition

"Ulysses" by James Joyce is a modernist novel published in 1922. It chronicles one day in Dublin—June 16, 1904—following three characters whose experiences mirror Homer's Odyssey. Leopold Bloom parallels Odysseus, his wife Molly echoes Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus reflects Telemachus. Through experimental prose styles and stream of consciousness technique, Joyce explores themes of identity, Irish life, and human consciousness. The novel's complexity, literary allusions, and revolutionary approach to depicting thought have made it one of modernism's most celebrated and debated works.
