Like the lecturer said, there's a danger in trying to read Ulysses if you don't have knowledge of Shakespeare Homer Dante etc. On the other hand, the sheer down to earthiness of the book is amazing - I know I didn't understand many of the literary allusions when I first read it, but the brilliance of how he describes situations and how the inner mind works as time goes by. It is a book about life being lived from the inside, outside, all ways. Genius,
Joyce was the first to break down the barriers between autobiography and fiction. Interesting. Others, however, wrote fiction in first person long before Joyce, such as Swift, Defoe, the Bronte's, Melville, &c. I'd imagine that their writings would have contained much autobiography. Though the Odyssey obviously influenced Ulysses, I personally think much of Moby Dick did too. But Joyce's brilliance excelled in his internal monologue. He really did capture how we think. Thanks for the above.
Bloomsday was the day When James 'knew' Nora? "Bid Adieu to Girlish Days" celebrated the deflowering. In 1904 Joyce had tried unsuccessfully to publish this poem in the Dublin magazine Dana. He also submitted it to Harper’s in January 1905, but again it was rejected. With two other poems from Chamber Music (I and XII), “Bid adieu to girlish days” was anthologized in The Dublin Book of Irish Verse (1909), edited by John Cooke. (This is the first time a work by Joyce was anthologized.) Joyce’s partiality toward this poem can also be seen in his efforts to have it set to music. In 1909 he tried actively to interest G. Molyneux Palmer in setting the poem musically: “It seems to me a pity you did not do the song ‘Bid adieu’ which I tried to music myself and hope you may turn to it some day” (Letters, II.227). (For more information see Letters, II.73, 77, 80, 117, and 227. Palmer eventually did set the poem to music.) Here, in this video, it's sung by Giorgio in 1949 and put to images in Paris on or around 02022020 featuring Joyce, Sylvia Beach, Samuel Beckett and Ezra Pound, all three who played key roles in James Joyce's life.

I think this portrait is totally unfair, Joyce is described as a selfish narcissistic intellectual. Nothing is more false. The way he was fighting to save her daughter from asylum, and other noble actions he did, as saving Italo Svevo's La coscienza di Zeno from the oblivion, in not mentioned. This is a catholic/puritan way of describe Joyce, by envious and resentful people.

Sorry to say the background music is too loud!

Martin Horan You're taking it all personally, man! Do calm yourself. It isn't all hell & bedsheets. I like his "filthy" letters v. much.
Where would we be without this psychiatrist's brilliant analyses?
Good video, but the background music was much too intrusive and loud sometimes masking the commentary.
I agree.
TERRIBLE VIDIO POORLY RESEARCHED INVASIVE MUSIC

Aquarius to the heart
The script has several errors. For example, at 7:19 it refers to the "Jesuit Christian Brothers", and later it refers to Dubliners as "The Dubliners".
"His wrong shoulder higher than his right...."

pietro barbetta It certainly reflects the typical Irish Catholic way of thinking.
i wholeheartedly agree pietro completely unfair portrayal
me gusta todo lo concerniente a Joyce
Juan Carlos Yo también.
Why is the music so loud?
Can't you do something about the music? It's just too loud!
The music ruins the whole experience.
@@jamescrowley8637 at least it drowns out the POORLY RESEARCHED RUBBISH
"A wealthy gentle background" or a wealthy genteel background?
I think you'd like this new film adaptation of Joyce's "Ulysses"
