Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This well-argued and thoroughly researched work adds a new facet to Ulysses scholarship. Building on his previous work (Pound's Epic Ambition: Dante and the Modern World), Sicari uses Dante's Divine Comedy to find a new method with which to analyze Joyce's complex work. By tracing Joyce's concept of Ulysses to Dante's Canto 26 rather than Homer's Odyssey, he argues that Joyce is distrustful of language's ability to depict truth and instead sees a need for allegory (theological, not poetical) to find the ideal. Sicari ably demonstrates how viewing the work as a modernist allegory provides the reading that resolves contradictions in plot and style. He also argues that Joyce uses the experimental episodes to transform Bloom's weakness into a heroic trait by changing how the reader views his passivity. In this modernist allegory, the reader is instructed to overcome cultural skepticism and find an ideal within Bloom's Christlike compassion and forgiveness. Intriguing but densely argued, this is recommended for academic libraries only. Paolina Taglienti, Long Island Univ .Lib., Brooklyn, NY

Top review from the United States

J.P.
5.0 out of 5 stars Profound, beautifully written
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2013
Superb especially for its insightful close readings, and a very strong case for humanism that works through postmodern skepticism. Highly recommended for students and scholars of literary modernism, as there are sections here that expand the scope beyond even Joyce's ambitious work. An artfully and clearly written book, to boot.
