Why read James Joyce’s epic masterpiece Ulysses? The critic Sean Latham offers some possible answers to this question: because it is there; because it is a humane and intellectual challenge; because it celebrates everyday life; because it puts hard and urgent questions to us; because it links us to communities of readers; because it continues to be an extraordinary imaginative resource. Perhaps every new reader can come up with their own reasons. This module will provide an introductory, chapter-by-chapter investigation of Joyce’s novel and of some of the key ways in which it has been interpreted.
