1922: Ulysses
Author/Editor: James Joyce
Ulysses is an eighteen-part novel, originally published as a series in The Little Review, following the events of a single day in Dublin. There are strong parallels and allusions to Homer’s Odyssey, with the main character Leopold Bloom acting the part of Odysseus. Full of humor and a “stream-of-consciousness” style, this work has been referred to as one of the most important works of Modernist literature.
