Why was the world's most famous Irish novel first published in an obscure journal in New York? How did the first readers greet Joyce's masterpiece? This book goes behind the scenes to tell the story of the very first publication of Ulysses. It describes the enthusiasm Joyce's first editors evinced for his work, and the circumstances which led to their prosecution on the grounds that the thirteenth chapter of Ulysses was obscene. It also shows how Joyce rewrote Ulysses in response to that judgement while resident in Paris in 1921. The work is written in an accessible and engaging style, and should appeal to any reader with an interest in Joyce, Ireland, modern literature, and twentieth century cultural history.
