Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. Parts of it were first serialized in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and the entire work was published in Paris by Sylvia Beach on 2 February 1922, Joyce's fortieth birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called'a demonstration and summation of the entire movement.'According to Declan Kiberd,'Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking.'Ulysses chronicles the appointments and encounters of the itinerant Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel is highly allusive and its prose imitates the styles of different periods of English literature.

Ulysses ist der Roman des irischen Schriftstellers James Joyce und das wichtigsten Werke der modernistischen Literatur; er wurde als'eine Demonstration und Zusammenfassung der gesamten Bewegung'bezeichnet. Declan Kiberd zufolge hatte'vor Joyce kein Schriftsteller der Belletristik den Prozess des Denkens so in den Vordergrund gestellt'. Ulysses schildert die Verabredungen und Begegnungen des Wanderers Leopold Bloom in Dublin im Laufe eines gewöhnlichen Tages, des 16. Juni 1904. Ulysses ist der latinisierte Name von Odysseus, dem Helden von Homers epischem Gedicht Odyssee, und der Roman stellt eine Reihe von Parallelen her, mit strukturellen Entsprechungen zwischen den Charakteren und Erfahrungen von Bloom und Odysseus, Molly Bloom und Penelope und Stephen Dedalus und Telemachus, zusätzlich zu Ereignissen und Themen des frühen 20 Jahrhunderts. Der Roman ist sehr anspielungsreich und imitiert auch die Stile verschiedener Epochen der englischen Literatur. Seit seiner Veröffentlichung hat das Buch Kontroversen und Untersuchungen ausgelöst, die von einem Obszönitätsprozess in den Vereinigten Staaten im Jahr 1921 bis hin zu langwierigen'Joyce-Kriegen'um den Text reichten. Die Technik des Bewusstseinsstroms, die sorgfältige Strukturierung und die experimentelle Prosa des Romans - voll von Wortspielen, Parodien und Anspielungen - sowie die reichhaltige Charakterisierung und der breite Humor haben dazu geführt, dass der Roman als eines der größten literarischen Werke der Geschichte gilt; Joyce-Fans in aller Welt feiern den 16. Juni als Bloomsday. Das Zimmer von James Joyce im James Joyce Tower und Museum: Um 8 Uhr morgens ruft Malachi'Buck'Mulligan, ein ungestümer Medizinstudent, den aufstrebenden Schriftsteller Stephen Dedalus auf das Dach des Sandycove Martello Towers, wo sie beide wohnen. Die Spannungen zwischen Dedalus und Mulligan rühren von einer grausamen Bemerkung her, die Stephen von Mulligan über seine kürzlich verstorbene Mutter gehört hat, und von der Tatsache, dass Mulligan einen englischen Studenten, Haines, eingeladen hat, bei ihnen zu wohnen. Die drei Männer frühstücken und gehen zum Ufer, wo Mulligan von Stephen den Schlüssel zum Turm und ein Darlehen verlangt. Die drei verabreden sich für 12:30 Uhr in der Kneipe The Ship. Bei der Abreise beschließt Stephen, dass er in dieser Nacht nicht mehr zum Turm zurückkehren wird, da Mulligan, der'Usurpator', ihn in Besitz genommen hat. Nestor: Stephen unterrichtet eine Geschichtsklasse über die Siege des Pyrrhus von Epirus. Nach dem Unterricht bleibt ein Schüler, Cyril Sargent, zurück, damit Stephen ihm zeigt, wie man eine Reihe von algebraischen Aufgaben löst. Stephen betrachtet Sargents hässliches Gesicht und versucht, sich die Liebe von Sargents Mutter zu ihm vorzustellen. Dann besucht er den gewerkschaftlichen Schuldirektor Garrett Deasy, bei dem er seinen Lohn abholt. Deasy bittet Stephen, seinen langatmigen Brief über die Maul- und Klauenseuche zum Druck in ein Zeitungsbüro zu bringen. Die beiden diskutieren über die irische Geschichte, und Deasy hält einen Vortrag über die Rolle der Juden in der Wirtschaft, wie er meint. Als Stephen geht, scherzt Deasy, dass Irland'die Juden nie verfolgt'habe, weil das Land sie'nie hereingelassen'habe. Aus dieser Episode stammen einige der bekanntesten Sätze des Romans, wie etwa die Behauptung von Dedalus, dass'die Geschichte ein Alptraum ist, aus dem ich zu erwachen versuche'und dass Gott'ein Schrei auf der Straße'ist... Ulysses wurde erstmals 1922 in Paris veröffentlicht, aber seine Veröffentlichung im Vereinigten Königreich und in den Vereinigten Staaten war wegen seiner vermeintlichen Obszönität verboten. Exemplare wurden in beide Länder geschmuggelt und Raubkopien gedruckt, bis die Veröffentlichung Mitte der 1930er Jahre endlich legal wurde.

Featuring new archival research and previously unpublished photographs and architectural plans, this volume fundamentally revises our understanding of the development of modern New York, focusing on elite domestic architecture within the contexts of social history, urban planning, architecture, interior design, and adaptive re-use. Contributions from emerging and established scholars, art historians, and practitioners offer a multi-faceted analysis of major figures such as Horace Trumbauer, Julian Francis Abele, Robert Venturi, and Richard Kelly. Taking the James B. Duke House, now home to NYU's Institute of Fine Arts, as its point of departure, this collection provides fresh perspectives on domestic spaces, urban forms, and social reforms that shaped early-twentieth century New York into the modern city we know today.

Winner of the 2022 Dan David Prize for outstanding scholarship that illuminates the past and seeks to anchor public discourse in a deeper understanding of historyWinner of the 2023 Medieval Academy of America Monica H. Green Prize for Distinguished Medieval ResearchHonorable Mention in the 2023 Middle East Medievalists Book PrizeIn Middle Eastern cities as early as the mid-8th century, the Sons of Sasan begged, trained animals, sold medicinal plants and potions, and told fortunes. They captivated the imagination of Arab writers and playwrights, who immortalized their strange ways in poems, plays, and the Thousand and One Nights. Using a wide range of sources, Richardson investigates the lived experiences of these Sons of Sasan, who changed their name to Ghuraba'(Strangers) by the late 1200s. This name became the Arabic word for the Roma and Roma-affiliated groups also known under the pejorative term'Gypsies'. This book uses mostly Ghuraba'-authored works to understand their tribal organization and professional niches as well as providing a glossary of their language Sin. It also examines the urban homes, neighborhoods, and cemeteries that they constructed. Within these isolated communities they developed and nurtured a deep literary culture and astrological tradition, broadening our appreciation of the cultural contributions of medieval minority communities. Remarkably, the Ghuraba'began blockprinting textual amulets by the 10th century, centuries before printing on paper arrived in central Europe. When Roma tribes migrated from Ottoman territories into Bavaria and Bohemia in the 1410s, they may have carried this printing technology into the Holy Roman Empire.

Edmund Waller (1606–1687): New Perspectives reappraises the life and works of an important but neglected seventeenth-century English poet. Admired at court in the 1630s and at the Restoration, Waller made a deep impression on contemporary poetry: his collection of Poems (1645) was widely acclaimed and had an ‘extraordinary impact'on future poets. The book investigates, among other things, Waller's political views on affairs of state, his social and literary interactions with younger poets, his friendship with John Evelyn while in exile, his technical poetic innovations, his rivalry with Andrew Marvell, his elegies, and his contemporary and posthumous reputation. Contributors: Warren Chernaik, Daniel Cook, Stephen Deng, Martin Dzelzainis, Richard Hillyer, Philip Major, Michael P. Parker, Tessie Prakas, Geoffrey Smith, Thomas Ward, and Gillian Wright.

This iconic work of experimental modernism “comes nearer to being the perfect revelation of a personality than any book in existence” (The New York Times). Taking place on June 16, 1904, Ulysses follows the itinerant journeys of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus as they make their way through an ordinary day in Dublin. With stream-of-conscious narration, Joyce weaves a sprawling yet incisive portrait of his characters, the nature of desire, and Dublin itself. First published in Paris in 1922, Joyce's masterwork was once banned for obscenity in the United States and Britain. Hailed as a work of genius by Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, and many others, Ulysses remains one of the most significant works in English literature.

In the first hundred years of the UK rail network, the seaside figures as a nerve centre, managing and making visible the period's complex interplay between health, death, gender and sexuality. This monograph discusses around 130 novels of the railway age to show how the seaside infiltrates a diverse range of literature, subverting the boundaries between high and low literary culture. The seaside holiday galvanises innovative literary forms, including early twentieth-century holiday crime and romance fiction, which has its origins in the sensational strategies of mid-nineteenth-century authors. Where reading takes place is at least as important as what is read, and case studies on literary Brighton and Dickensian Kent explore the occasionally fraught relationship between seaside towns and the metropolis, as London visitors are represented in – and are the target audience for – literary accounts of the seaside holiday. The act of reading by the sea is itself overdetermined and problematic, a dilemma that is managed in part through the development of text-free literary tourism in the late nineteenth century. Deploying strategies from literary criticism, histories of reading, libraries and the book, and literary tourism, this book recovers ‘seaside reading'as both a literary sub-genre and a deeply contested mode of engagement.

Ed Viesturs ha impiegato diciotto anni per raggiungere il suo Sacro Graal: arrivare senza ossigeno in cima a tutti i quattordici Ottomila, decimo uomo al mondo, quinto senza ossigeno, il primo e a oggi unico americano. Il suo motto è «raggiungere la cima è facoltativo, tornare indietro è obbligatorio» e questo spiega perché più di una volta abbia rinunciato al successo anche a poche centinaia di metri dal traguardo. In vetta senza scorciatoie racconta la sua storia: la nascita della passione per la montagna, che lo ha allontanato dalla professione di veterinario; l'esperienza di guida alpina, che gli ha insegnato il valore della sicurezza, per sé e per gli altri; la difficile strada per diventare uno scalatore professionista, lui che si guadagnava da vivere facendo il carpentiere. E, di qui, gli sforzi estenuanti, la preparazione inflessibile, le imprevedibili difficoltà affrontate per conquistare, una per una, le quattordici vette. Compresa l'ultima, l'Annapurna, il suo spettro e la sua nemesi. Un percorso fatto di vittorie, ma anche di errori che gli sono quasi costati la vita, di incontri e personaggi indimenticabili, di soccorsi e salvataggi (alcuni epici come quello sull'Everest nel 1996). Sullo sfondo, la sua filosofia della montagna, improntata a una fortissima responsabilità verso se stesso e i compagni, istinto nel fiutare le situazioni di pericolo estremo, capacità di distinguere il limite che separa il coraggio dalla sconsideratezza, la motivazione dalla follia, la perseveranza dalla cieca ambizione. Una linea impercettibile, sottile come l'aria nella Zona della Morte. E, su quella linea, Ed Viesturs è un maestro.

This strikingly illustrated edition presents Joyce's epic novel in a new, more accessible light, while showcasing the incredible talent of a leading Spanish artist. The neo-figurative artist Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018), regarded today as one of the greatest Spanish painters of his generation, dreamed of illustrating James Joyce's Ulysses. Although he began work on the project in 1989, it was never published during his lifetime: Stephen James Joyce, Joyce's grandson and the infamously protective executor of his estate, refused to allow it, arguing that his grandfather would never have wanted the novel illustrated. In fact, a limited run appeared in 1935 with lithographs by Henri Matisse, which reportedly infuriated Joyce when he realized that Matisse, not having actually read the book, had merely depicted scenes from Homer's Odyssey. Now available for the first time in English, this unique edition of the classic novel features three hundred images created by Arroyo—vibrant, eclectic drawings, paintings, and collages that reflect and amplify the energy of Joyce's writing.

'- What is your nation if I may ask, says the citizen. - Ireland, says Bloom. I was born here. Ireland.'Ulysses, one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century, has had a profound influence on modern fiction. In a series of episodes covering the course of a single day, 16 June 1904, the novel traces the movements of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the streets of Dublin. Each episode has its own literary style, and the epic journey of Odysseus is only one of many correspondencies that add layers of meaning to the text. Today critical interest centres on the authority of the text, and this edition, complete with an invaluable introduction, notes, and appendices, republishes without interference, the original 1922 text. Jeri Johnson's commentary guides the reader through this highly allusive novel in an edition acclaimed by scholars and general readers alike. This updated edition includes new explanatory notes, a revised introduction, and expanded bibliography. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

The 40th volume of Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies focuses exclusively on geographers from the Global South. For the first time in the serial's history, the entire volume is devoted to geographers who were born or who lived in South America and is combined with an editorial which roots their lives and careers in the context of the Global South more generally. These geographers'biobibliographies, which consider their personal and professional trajectories and encounters, deepen our understanding of geography as a whole, and raise important wider questions of the scope and place of Southern scholarship. This volume includes meticulously detailed volumes on five of the most prominent and ground-breaking geographers in the Global South, including: · The Argentinian geographer Elina González Acha de Correa Morales, who was the first woman to apply for membership of the Argentinean Geographical Institute in 1888 and who played an important role in developing geographical science in Argentina · The Brazilian geographer Bernardino de Souza, active in Brazil in the late nineteenth century as a secretary of the Geographical and Historical Institute of Bahia · The Portuguese scholar Jaime Zuzarte Cortesão, Director of the National Library of Portugal, who was exiled in Brazil between 1940 and 1957 and greatly influenced research into the exploration and mapping of South America. · The Brazilian geographer Josué Apolônio de Castro who was a member of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation's international advisory group on nutrition during the 1940s and the 1950s · The late twentieth-century Brazilian geographer Antônio Carlos Robert Moraes, who was a key figure in the circulation of critical approaches in Brazilian geography Together these biobibliographies allow the reader to focus on the Global South as a place of geographical knowledge production, translation and reception, enlarging our discipline's histories. The volume also links the serial firmly to wider debates on decolonisation and post colonialism and is the latest manifestation of the editorial drive to broaden the serial's reach and impact and to consolidate its place as an important vehicle in narrating geography's international story.

Birkbeck traces the 200-year history of Birkbeck, University of London from its founding at a time when social elites deplored the notion of educated working people to the present day. Joanna Bourke writes a lively history of the institution, and how it contributed to the shaping of modern British higher education. Two hundred years ago, Birkbeck was founded as the London Mechanics'Institution (LMI). When it was established in 1823, one third of all men and half of all women were unable to read or write. British elites were vehemently hostile to educating working people. The country was in political turmoil and it was feared that education would destroy society. This was the context in which the LMI was established. From its foundation, it was unique. Birkbeck traces its history from 1823 to the present, with Joanna Bourke using the history of Birkbeck to reflect on life and culture in London over the past two centuries. What does it mean to be educated? Why have Birkbeck's students been prepared to give up so much in order to study for a higher degree? How does education help us become fully human and self-fulfilled by learning how to use all our faculties - knowledge, imagination, sympathy? The story of Birkbeck contains some blood, oceans of scholarly sweat, and not a few tears. But it is also a story of laughter, intellectual excitement, scholarly eccentricity, collective as well as personal ambition, and, most of all, the quirky passions and personalities that make up the Birkbeck community. It is a story of a unique university but also of higher education of Britain. It shows how knowledge can empower people to better themselves and improve the world.

The Lost Promise is a magisterial examination of the turmoil that rocked American universities in the 1960s, with a unique focus on the complex roles played by professors as well as students. The 1950s through the early 1970s are widely seen as American academia's golden age, when universities—well-funded and viewed as essential for national security, economic growth, and social mobility—embraced an egalitarian mission. Swelling in size, schools attracted new types of students and professors, including radicals who challenged their institutions'calcified traditions. But that halcyon moment soon came to a painful and confusing end, with consequences that still afflict the halls of ivy. In The Lost Promise, Ellen Schrecker—our foremost historian of both the McCarthy era and the modern American university—delivers a far-reaching examination of how and why it happened. Schrecker illuminates how US universities'explosive growth intersected with the turmoil of the 1960s, fomenting an unprecedented crisis where dissent over racial inequality and the Vietnam War erupted into direct action. Torn by internal power struggles and demonized by conservative voices, higher education never fully recovered, resulting in decades of underfunding and today's woefully inequitable system. As Schrecker's magisterial history makes blazingly clear, the complex blend of troubles that disrupted the university in that pivotal period haunts the ivory tower to this day.

A human and global take on a beloved vacation spot. The crash of surf, smell of salted air, wet whorls of sand underfoot. These are the sensations of the beach, that environment that has drawn humans to its life-sustaining shores for millennia. And while the gull's cry and the cove's splendor have remained constant throughout time, our relationship with the beach has been as fluid as the runnels left behind by the tide's turning.The Lure of the Beach is a chronicle of humanity's history with the coast, taking us from the seaside pleasure palaces of Roman elites and the aquatic rituals of medieval pilgrims, to the venues of modern resort towns and beyond. Robert C. Ritchie traces the contours of the material and social economies of the beach throughout time, covering changes in the social status of beach goers, the technology of transport, and the development of fashion (from nudity to Victorianism and back again), as well as the geographic spread of modern beach-going from England to France, across the Mediterranean, and from nineteenth-century America to the world. And as climate change and rising sea levels erode the familiar faces of our coasts, we are poised for a contemporary reckoning with our relationship—and responsibilities—to our beaches and their ecosystems. The Lure of the Beach demonstrates that whether as a commodified pastoral destination, a site of ecological resplendency, or a flashpoint between private ownership and public access, the history of the beach is a human one that deserves to be told now more than ever before.

Ulises, una de las novelas más famosas del siglo XX, se publicó por vez primera en París en 1922, ya que estuvo prohibida por inmoral tanto en Inglaterra como en los Estados Unidos, países en los que sólo pudo publicarse durante los años treinta. La traducción francesa, en la que intervino el mismo Joyce, es de 1929 y la primera en lengua castellana se publicó en Argentina en 1945. Se trata de un extensísimo relato que transcurre en Dublín en un solo día, el 16 de junio de 1904, y su personaje principal es el judío Leopold Bloom, cuyas andanzas por la ciudad reproducen el esquema argumental de la Odisea homérica; su Penélope —que aquí no tiene nada de fiel— será Molly Bloom; y el hijo de Ulises, Telémaco, es Stephen Dedalus, el protagonista de la anterior novela de Joyce Retrato del artista adolescente, a quien la reciente muerte de su madre ha confirmado en su sensación de orfandad espiritual. La estructura del libro es un alarde de virtuosismo: cada episodio posee un estilo diferente y corresponde, además, a una hora del día, a un color, a un pasaje de la Odisea o a un momento de la misa. Ulises constituye una de las empresas literarias más ambiciosas de nuestro siglo y se ha erigido en una de las obras cumbre de la novela contemporánea.

Una de las cumbres de la literatura moderna en una cuidada edición de bolsillo. Irreverente, cómica, erudita, monumental, Ulises es una de las novelas cumbre de la literatura moderna. Su trama sigue las andanzas por Dublín de Stephen Dedalus y Leopold y Molly Bloom a lo largo de un día, el 16 de junio de 1904. Pero tras los detalles cotidianos se oculta un trasfondo mitológico que remite a toda la experiencia humana y enriquece la lectura con infinitos significados. Escrito en una brillante variedad de estilos, el libro ha sido objeto de numerosos estudios, ensayos y controversias, una tradición crítica que la presente edición recoge en su estupenda introducción y en su minucioso aparato de notas. Sobre la obra y el autor: «Ulises no es fácil, pero cada una de sus páginas es maravillosa y compensa el esfuerzo.» Joyce Carol Oates «Ulises, por supuesto, es una obra de arte sublime.» Vladimir Nabokov «Ulises contiene lo que aún está por descubrir de la mente del hombre; es un análisis de la conciencia humana como nunca se había hecho.» Ford Maddox Ford «Joyce continúa despertando pasiones porque su obra -y, en particular, Ulises- es un campo minado donde encontramos nuevas riquezas, nuevos explosivos, cada vez que volvemos.» Edna O'Brien «[Ulises es] el libro con el que todos estamos en deuda y del que ninguno de nosotros puede escapar.» T. S. Eliot «Para mí, Joyce es el realista por excelencia porque trataba de transmitir la sensación de la experiencia. Y esta le parecía tan ideosincrásica que tuvo que inventar un nuevo lenguaje para hacerlo.» Zadie Smith «Joyce hizo que todo fuese posible; abrió todas las puertas y ventanas.» Anne Enright

Dieses Werk schafft es, dem alten Konzept der Ethnogeneseforschung und dem damit einhergehenden Verbinden verschiedener moderner Forschungsdisziplinen zu Kultur, Religion und Sprache durch das Zurückgreifen auf die Ergebnisse der neuesten genetischen Untersuchungen zur Entstehungsgeschichte des englischen Volkes neues Leben einzuhauchen. Dabei werden ethnogenetische Prozesse in England von der Urbevölkerung der britischen Inseln bis einschließlich zur Eroberung durch die Normannen analysiert, ihre Auswirkungen bewertet und der Einfluss der Angelsachsen und Kelten als am größten beurteilt. Es wird zudem herausgestellt, dass die Ethnogeneseforschung auch heute noch anwendbar ist und inwieweit die Fortschritte in der Genetik diese bereichern. Mit einem Vorwort von Jens Ejnar Olesen.

Geographers is an annual collection of studies on individuals who have made major contributions to the development of geography and geographical thought. Volume 39 celebrates the contribution of Hugh Clout to the discipline.The thirty-ninth volume of Geographers Biobibliographical Studies adds significantly to the corpus of scholarship on geography's multiple histories and biographies; each chapter includes a select biography of its chosen figure, and a brief chronology of their work. In this edition Hugh Clout memorialises the forgotten, those who had made an important local contribution which went unnoticed on the national stage, or those who continued along the intellectual path blazed by one of the discipline's major figures and thus helped to secure the reputation of that major figure. In this collection of essays, Clout draws from used literary works, reviews in the scholarly and other press, obituaries in newspapers and geographical publications, funeral orations and papers in a large number of archives. Each study includes a select bibliography and a brief chronology. The work includes a general index, and a cumulative index of geographers listed in volumes published to date. As with other volumes in the series, the purpose is not to evaluate, but to present individuals and their contributions as they really were and in the context of their time. Published under the auspices of the International Geographical Union.

Peter Linebaugh's groundbreaking history has become an inescapable part of any understanding of the rise of capitalism. In eighteenth-century London the spectacle of a hanging was not simply a form of punishing transgressors.Rather it evidently served the most sinister purpose-for a prvileged ruling class-of forcing the poor population of London to accept the criminalization of customary rights and the new forms of private property. Necessity drove the city's poor into inevitable conflict with the changing property laws, such that all the working-class men and women of London had good reason to fear the example of Tyburn's Triple Tree.In this new edition Peter Linebaugh reinforces his original arguments with responses to his critics based on an impressive array of historical sources. As the trend of capital punishment intensifies with the spread of global capitalism, The London Hanged also gains in contemporary relevance.

Guided by the romantic compass of Turner, Byron, and Ruskin, Victorian travellers to the Dolomites sketched in the mountainous backdrop of Venice a cultural ‘Petit Tour'of global significance. As they zigzagged across a debatable land between Italy and Austria, Victorians discovered a unique geography characterized by untrodden peaks and unfrequented valleys. The discovery of this landscape blended aesthetic, scientific, and cultural values utterly different from those engendered by the bombastic conquests of the Western Alps achieved during the ‘Golden Age of Mountaineering'. Filtered through memories of the Venetian Grand Tour, the Victorian encounter with the Dolomites is revealed through a series of distinct cultural practices that paradigmatically define a ‘Silver Age of Mountaineering'. This book shows how these practices are more ethnographic than imperialistic, more feminine than masculine, more artistic than sportive — rather than racing to summits, the Silver Age is about rambling, rather than conquering peaks, it is about sketching them in an intimate interaction with the Dolomite landscape.
