After an introduction surveying Joyce's techniques, both traditional (the creation of plausible characters and a fully realized Dublin setting) and modern (interior monologue, the Homeric parallels, stylistic experimentation), an episode-by-episode commentary leads readers through the fictional events of June 16, 1904, explaining obscurities, identifying main themes, translating foreign phrases - in short, making understandable the world of Stephen Dedalus and Leopold and Molly Bloom. An afterword looks at \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e as a whole, arguing that like all comic masterpieces it applies a sophisticated treatment to ordinary materials. An annotated bibliography suggests further resources for studying the novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Author: Jefferson Hunter, Professor of English at Smith College, received his Ph.D. in English literature from Yale University and has taught there as well as at Amherst and Middlebury colleges.
