Description
This seminar will focus on James Joyce’s landmark modernist novel, Ulysses. In preparing to tackle the text, we will read Homer’s Odyssey, some of Joyce’s early writings, and parts of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The majority of the semester, however, will be spent reading Ulysses at a measured pace. We will consider Joyce’s use of innovative narrative techniques and his invention of new forms. As we work through the novel one episode at a time, we’ll also pay attention to historical and literary contexts and to 20th- and 21st-century literary criticism. Course requirements include oral presentations, reading responses, and two research papers.
