SynopsisPerhaps no literary work of the twentieth century has caused more controversy than James Joyce's Ulysses. The book America wanted to burn has instead earned a place as one of the most complex and most studied volumes of fiction. In this collection of essays each of the eighteen contributors offers new commentary on one of the episodes in Ulysses. Throughout Ulysses-En-Gendered Perspectives the common critical concern is with varying articulations of "femininities" and "masculinities" in Joyce's modernist epic. Each contributor attends to the extensive and various markings of gender in Ulysses and examines the ways in which such markings generate and en-gender other meanings., A collection of 18 essays, each of which offers commentary on one of the episodes in James Joyce's ""Ulysses"".

Each contributor attends to the extensive and various markings of gender in ""Ulysses"" and examines the ways in which such markings generate and en-gender other meanings. Gender is treated as a form of overwriting, in senses that include both excess and layering. In this collection the differentiations of ""masculine"" and ""feminine"", their definitions and elaborations, are approached in multiple ways and in changing contexts. Familial roles, labour assignments, perceptual modes, colonialist categories, sexualities, ethnicities, ways of knowing and learning, scents, tastes and eating habits are but a few of the cultural phenomena the scholars explore. The essays are also responsive to influential trends such as historicism, psychoanalysis and culture critique., Groundbreaking perspectives on the controversial modern epic Perhaps no literary work of the twentieth century has caused more controversy than James Joyce's Ulysses.
