Ulysses Explained cover

When it comes to James Joyce's landmark work, Ulysses , the influence of three literary giants, Homer, Shakespeare, and Dante, cannot be overlooked. Examining Joyce in terms of Homeric narrative, Dantesque structure, and Shakespearean plot, Weir rediscovers Joyce's novel through the lens of his renowned predecessors.

“‘Ulysses’ Explained is an excellent book that combines smooth readability and sound scholarship and works perfectly well both as a guide for the general reader and as an enriching experience for the specialized Joycean.” (Laura Pelaschiar, James Joyce Quarterly, Vol. 53 (1-2), 2015-2016)
