Description

An illuminating reader's guide to Ulysses, with a new foreword by Colm Tóibín, publishing to celebrate the centenary of the novel's first publication.

Ulysses is one of the foundational texts of modern literature, yet has a reputation for complexity and controversy.

In this new edition, published to celebrate the centenary of Ulysses' first publication in 1922, Killeen seamlessly combines close literary analysis with a broad account of the novel's fascinating history, from its writing and publication to its long contemporary afterlife. We get under the skin of the text to discover the joys of Joyce's remarkable range of themes, styles and voices, as Killeen reanimates the real people who inspired many of the characters. Ulysses Unbound is an indispensable, illuminating and entertaining companion to one of the twentieth century's great works of art.
