Ulysses

Ulysses

James Joyce

In CliffsNotes on Ulysses, you enter one day in the lives of Stephen Dedalus (Telemachus) and Leopold Bloom (Odysseus). Set in 1904 Dublin, the novel parallels Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. It's an inventive, multiple-point-of-view vision of personal attitudes, cultural and political sentiments, and observations of the human condition. James Joyce's realistic and irreverent novel, told in stream-of-consciousness style, was once banned in the U.S. but is now a modern classic.

Take the Quiz To emphasize Stephen’s inward turnings, Joyce withholds which vital bit of information about Stephen until late in the novel?
  1. Stephen is left-handed.
  2. Stephen has been studying Oriental philosophies.
  3. Stephen broke his glasses the day before Ulysses begins.
  4. Stephen has resumed his earlier religious beliefs.
