The Lilly Library is pleased to announce the debut of "The Novel of the
Century: James Joyce's Ulysses on the Anniversary of Bloomsday," an
electronic exhibition.

By the end of the twentieth century, scholars had already devoted more
space to the works of James Joyce than to any other author except
Shakespeare, and Ulysses was widely regarded as the most important novel
of the modern age. The entire action of Ulysses, in which Leopold Bloom
serves as a modern day Odysseus traversing the streets of Dublin, takes
place on a single day: June 16, 1904 (now known as "Bloomsday").
On this, the 101st anniversary of Bloomsday, the Lilly Library presents
an electronic exhibition featuring a selection from its rich collection
of Joycean materials, including first editions of all Joyce's major
texts.
