The scandal of Ulysses

Export

McLaren, John (1997) The scandal of Ulysses. [Teaching Resource] (Unpublished)

Abstract

Contains a lecture on James Joyce's novel Ulysses, a version of which was delivered at the Bloomsday celebrations in Melbourne, June 1997. The historical scandal of James Joyce's Ulysses may be past, but as a work of literature, a piece of writing, it remains a scandal every time we open it to read or think about what we have read or intend to read of it. It is a scandal first of all because of its sheer size - not merely its length, but the complexity it compounds and the effort of reading it demands.

Additional Information

Lecture written by John’s for his VU course in 1997, and also delivered as a public performance on Bloomsday in Melbourne in 1997.
