This collection of recent essays on James Joyce's masterpiece, Ulysses, provides an up-to-date overview of debates in Joycean scholarship, with particular emphasis on gender, postcolonial and ideological critiques, and deconstructive readings. The essays are framed by an introduction that assesses particularity and universal schemes in Joyce's novel, including its role in modern literature.

RAINER EMIG is Professor of British Literature at the University of Regensburg, Germany.
