HIST-424 Novel and Nation: Reading James Joyce’s Ulysses in Context
Published in 1922, James Joyce’s Ulysses continues to enjoy general acclaim as the "Greatest Novel" yet written in English. To mark the centenary of this landmark literary achievement, in this joint seminar we will test the validity of such a claim by reading Joyce’s encyclopedic work in relation to its social, historical, and cultural contexts. Particular attention paid to issues of colonialism, Irish nationalism, and the place of Ulysses in both the history of the novel and the history of literary criticism and theory. Senior Seminar in two departments.Yao (Literature) and Grant (History).
