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, as well as an introduction and section summaries by world-renowned Joycean scholar, Andrew Gibson.
