The James Joyce Collection -
Celebrate the centenary of "Bloomsday" - June 16, 1904 - the day on which "Ulysses" takes place with "The James Joyce Collection" including "Ulysses" and "Dubliners". Voted by many literary organizations including The Modern Library, as the greatest novel ever written, James Joyce''s "Ulysses" concerns the wanderings of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the streets, beaches, museums, galleries, pubs and brothels of Dublin, and, in what would break new ground for the novel, their thoughts, emotions and memories.
James Joyce was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1882 to a middle class, though impoverished, family. After graduating from University College, Dublin, Joyce traveled to France, where he worked as a journalist and teacher. He returned to Dublin upon his mother''s death, and there met chambermaid Nora Barnacle, who he married in 1931. Remaining in Dublin, Joyce published "Dubliners" in 1914, and "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" in 1916.
"Mr. Bloom walked unheeded along his grove by saddened angels,
crosses, broken pillars, family vaults, stone hopes praying with
upcast eyes, old Ireland's hearts and hands.
More sensible to spend the money on some charity for the living.
Pray for the repose of the soul ..."
Ulysses
James Joyce
In 1918, at the outset of World War I, Joyce moved his family to Zürich, Switzerland, which he would call home for the rest of his life. In 1922, he published "Ulysses" in France because of censorship issues in both Great Britain and the United States. "Ulysses" would not be published in the United States until 1933. In his works, Joyce pioneered the use of interior monologues, and the experimental use of language using a complex set of symbols drawn from mythology, history and literature. Following the publication of "Finnegans Wake" in 1939, Joyce died on January 13, 1941.

"Ulysses" was the subject of an obscenity trial that took place on November 25, 1933 before the New York State Supreme Court. Judge J. Woolsey came to the conclusion that the novel''s language was frank but not sensual. Woolsey stated that "to convey this level of realism, Joyce must use words that are generally considered dirty words and has led at times to what many think is a too poignant preoccupation with sex in the thoughts of his characters." Woolsey also said that it must also be remembered that his “locale was Celtic and his season Spring. Sexual thoughts and budding flowers are in the air." |
