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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Mccourt, John (Professor)","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42641889132729,"sku":"9781350205826","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/mccourt-john-professor-consuming-joyce-100-years-of-ulysses-in-ireland-2022-paperback-9781350205826-57896223342931.jpg?v=1727839930","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/consuming-joyce-100-years-of-ulysses-in-ireland","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
