Ulysses novel - Obscenity trial

Ulysses is a 1922 novel by James Joyce, first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from 1918 to 1920, and published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach in 1922, Paris. Ulysses chronicles the passage through Dublin by its main character, Leopold Bloom, during an ordinary day, June 16, 1904. The title alludes to the hero of Homer's Odyssey (Latinized version Ulysses), and there are many parallels, both implicit and explicit, between the two works (e.g. the correlations betwe ...

In 1920 after the magazine The Little Review serialized a passage of the book dealing with the main character masturbating, a group called the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, who objected to the book's content, took action to attempt to keep the book out of the United States. At a trial in 1921 the magazine was declared obscene and as a result Ulysses was banned in the United States. The publisher, Random House, decided to try to get the ban lifted. In 1933, an arrangement was made to import the Fren ...

Ulysses is divided into eighteen chapters. At first glance much of the book may appear unstructured and chaotic, but the two schemata which Stuart Gilbert and Herbert Gorman released after publication to defend Joyce from the obscenity accusations make the links to the Odyssey, and much internal structure, explicit. Most chapters of Ulysses have an assigned theme, technique and, tellingly, correspondences between its characters and those of the Odyssey. The chapter titles and the correspondences were not included in the original text, but ...

According to Jack Dalton (p. 102, 113), the first edition of Ulysses contained over two thousand errors but was still the most accurate edition published. As each subsequent edition attempted to correct these mistakes, it incorporated more of its own. Hans Walter Gabler's 1984 edition was an attempt to produce a corrected text, but it has received much criticism, most notably from John Kidd. Kidd's main criticism is of Gabler's choice of the manuscript as his copy-text (the base edition with which the editor compares each variant). Th ...

Joyce wrote of Ulysses: "I've put so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant..." As such, there are a good number of puzzles and open problems present in the book which require careful readings to solve. Denis Breen's postcard Why is Denis Breen's postcard libellous? Who sent it? Is its text "U.P.: up" or merely just "U.P."? Why did the Blooms' social life decrease so signifi ...

Written over a seven-year period from 1914 to 1921, the novel was serialized in the American journal The Little Review from 1918, until the publication of the Nausicaa episode led to a prosecution for obscenity. The book was first published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach at Shakespeare and Company in Paris in 1922, but was banned in both the United States and United Kingdom until the 1930s. The work was blacklisted by Irish customs. The publication history of Ulysses is disputed and obscure. There have been at least eleven edi ...
