James Joyce: Master Class
Join Margot Norris the Chancellor's Professor Emerita of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Irvine for a special Literary Luncheon Master Class on James Joyce and his classic novel Ulysses. This special class will only require you to read sections of the novel yet will give you a complete overview and understanding of the author and the importance of his work. The Master Class will be a new addition to the Literary Luncheon Series so that we can all delve more deeply into the works of authors that are often referenced in modern culture and literature. The class will include lecture, luncheon and discussion.
You may use any edition but please make sure that the text is a complete text. The two chapters of Ulysses we will discuss: Chapter 4: "Calypso" pp. 45-57 in the Gabler edition of Ulysses published by Vintage Books Chapter 18: "Penelope" pp. 608-644 in the Gabler edition of Ulysses published by Vintage Books Professor Norris also recommends the 1967 black and white film titled Ulysses by Joseph Strick.
