The publication of his masterwork \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e - referred to by \u003ci\u003eThe Quarterly Review \u003c\/i\u003eas an \"Odyssey of the sewer\" - in 1922 was initially met with indifference and hostility within Ireland. This book tells the full story of the reception of Joyce and his best-known book in the country of his birth for the first time; a reception that evolved over the next hundred years, elevating Joyce from a writer reviled to one revered. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart reception study, part social history, this book uses the changing interpretations of \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e to explore the concurrent religious, social and political changes sweeping Ireland. From initially being a threat to the status quo, \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e became a way to market Ireland abroad and a manifesto for a better, more modern, open and tolerant, multi-ethnic country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John McCourt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350205826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350205826\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.13h x 6.06w x 0.71d","brand":"John McCourt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982147846399,"sku":"9781350205826","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8062c717-37e2-4c93-95be-b230239e2a8c.jpg?v=1683259504","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/consuming-joyce-john-mccourt-9781350205826","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
