Introduction to Joyce's Ulysses

○講義概要

We study the structure and symbolism of five episodes in this central work of literary Modernism, treating each of them as self-sufficient compositions. In each case an important literary background of the episode is discussed. We conclude by considering Homer's Odyssey as the principal background text of the entire novel.
