Arguably the greatest novel of the twentieth century, James Joyce's Ulysses remains as much of a shocking and redemptive testament to the human condition as it was when it was first conceived in 1914.

Following the events of a single day in Dublin and the experiences of Stephen Dedalus, Leopold Bloom and his wife Molly, Ulysses' ceaseless verbal and formal inventiveness and its astonishing wide-ranging allusions continue to have a profound influence on contemporary culture. Based on the 1922 text, now the preferred text of Joyce's masterwork, this annotated Student Edition includes extensive annotation and an introduction by world-renowned Joycean scholar, Andrew Gibson.
