Perhaps the most important literary achievement of the 20th century, Ulysses is also one of the most challenging. This reference introduces beginning readers to Joyce and his novel, removes some of the obstacles readers face when confronting the text, provides background information to facilitate understanding, and illuminates the critical dialogue surrounding the work. A short biography and a survey of the importance and cultural impact of Ulysses is followed by the most detailed available plot summary. Chapters overview the novel's publication history, contexts, major themes, narrative structure and style, and critical reception. The volume closes with a bibliographical essay.
