Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

James Joyce (1882-1941) is undoubtedly one of the masters of modern literature. His novel Ulysses is arguably the most significant and most influential piece of literature written in this century: 'the novel to end all novels'. Yet, Joyce has the reputation of being difficult, hermetic, arcane.

Assessment and permitted materials

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

It is the aim of this course to make Joyce accessible and to explore the richness and originality of his work by an approach, which favours small, but increasingly steady steps, i.e. chapter-by-chapter analysis. It will also be necessary to consider Ulysses in relation to other works in the Joyce canon, to film adaptations, and most importantly, to relate it to the contexts of Irish life and Irish culture of the early 20th century.

Examination topics

class discussions of selected chapters, student presentations on selected topics.
Requirements for credit: regular attendance, active participation in class, oral presentation, research paper (20-25 pp.), final (written) test.
