ENG 126B: Joyce's UlyssesInstructor: David Sherman Prerequisites: None Course Description: This seminar is an opportunity to become absorbed in Joyce’s Ulysses as a member of an interpretive community. Published in 1922, this novel has impacted modern literature like no other. A novel at the edge of the genre of the novel, Ulysses is a highly experimental, weirdly delightful, and encyclopedic world-making project. We will explore it chapter by chapter, with parallel readings of Homer and other intertexts. We will also consider the place of Ulysses in modernism, the explosive cultural project across the arts in the early 20th century that is still with us. Our intensive, collaborative approach to Ulysses will serve different needs for each student, based on individual academic and creative commitments; this book is a powerful resource for all of them.
