Abstract
This study is for readers of Ulysses. It attempts to comment on the major issues confronting a reader as he tries to make sense of the novel. In the title of my Introduction, I playfully use Molly’s response to Bloom’s explanation of metempsychosis (“O, rocks!… Tell us in plain words”) to indicate that Ulysses is a readable novel — rather than an elaborate puzzle or a Rosetta Stone or a hieroglyph. For Ulysses, while presenting unique challenges, depends upon readers who have a good deal of reading experience in more traditional narratives.KeywordsOrganic UnityFormal PrincipleMajor FigureTraditional NarrativePlain WordThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
