Abstract

Stephanie Nelson's book, "Time and Identity in Ulysses and the Odyssey," explores the thematic relationship between James Joyce's Ulysses and Homer's Odyssey. Nelson argues that Joyce's play with Homer's text goes beyond parody and reveals core questions about time and identity that are present in both works. She examines the persistence of identity over time and the role of storytelling in shaping identities. Nelson's book offers valuable insights for scholars of literature, as well as historians and social scientists. The book is highly recommended for its creative and compelling analysis.
