{"product_id":"ulysses-oxford-worlds-classics","title":"Ulysses (Oxford World's Classics)","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the greatest novels of the twentieth century  Ulysses has had a profound influence on modern fiction. In a series of episodes covering the course of a single day  June 16  1904  the novel traces the movements of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the streets of Dublin. Each chapter has its own remarkably innovative literary style  and the book is one of the great  extended tours de force of stream-of-consciousness narration. It is an essential stop in any tour of English literature. This marvelous edition reproduces in facsimile the original 1922 text. Today critical interest centers on the authority of the text  and this edition republishes for the first time  without interference  the original 1922 text. Equally important  Jeri Johnsons editorial material is acknowledged to be by far the best there is. Her textual apparatus--notes  introduction  stemma of published versions--is unsurpassed. Johnson strikes the perfect balance between what readers need to know in her notes and introduction. Her fantastic explanatory notes begin by giving the time and location of each episode and a description of the correspondence with the episode in Homer being paralleled. In addition  the introduction is a model of scholarship and lucidity  leading the first-time reader through the intricacies of the text. This edition also includes a full list of errata  a Composition and Publication History  an up-to-date bibliography  a chronology of Joyces lie  a map of Dublin of the period  appendices reproducing Gilbert and Linati schema (i.e. the tables that set out the symbolic significance of each episode in the novel by title  hour of the day  place of the action)  and much more. It is the perfect introduction to the crowning work of modernist literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44974372880437,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199535671","price":59.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199535675.jpg?v=1770656108","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ulysses-oxford-worlds-classics","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
