Description: In the collection of essays that Kimberly J. Devlin and Marilyn Reizbaum have edited, each of the eighteen contributors, all prominent Joyce scholars, offers new commentary on one of the eighteen 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 engender other meanings.
