Joyce James Joyce's masterpiece, a novel entitled Ulysses, is one of the most astonishingly original literary works ever written. At the same time, however, Joyce actually borrowed much of his novel from the masterpieces of earlier historical periods, including Homer's Odyssey, Dante's Divine Comedy and Shakespeare's Hamlet. In this course, we will study how, by writing Ulysses, Joyce brought to life in the twentieth century these literary monuments from the past. Our focus will be on the analysis of these works in relation both to the historical periods in which they were first created and to the modern period in which they were reborn. While the main focus will be on the literary value of each novel studied, attention will be given to the biographical, social, intellectual, and historical elements related to the novels and the writers.
