James Joyce's Ulysses
F06
Deirdre Bair
The course consists of a close reading of the text, chapter by chapter, supplemented by lectures and brief related readings in Irish literature and history. There will be enough references made to Dubliners and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man that students will benefit from a familiarity with these writings, although they are not required reading.

Course requirements consist of two papers: a midterm of 8–12 pages, and a final of the appropriate length for the topic.
