Ulysses is a
novel by
James Joyce, first serialized in parts in the
American journal
The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and then published in its entirety by
Sylvia Beach on
February 2,
1922, in
Paris. It is one of the most important works of
Modernist literature.Ulysses chronicles the passage through
Dublin by its main character,
Leopold Bloom, during an ordinary day,
June 16,
1904. The title alludes to the hero of
Homer's
Odyssey (
Latinised into Ulysses), and there are many parallels, both implicit and explicit, between the two works (e.g., the correspondences between
Leopold Bloom and
Odysseus,
Molly Bloom and
Penelope, and
Stephen Dedalus and
Telemachus).
June 16 is now celebrated by Joyce's fans worldwide as
Bloomsday.
