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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn McCourt is Professor of English Literature at the University of Macerata, Italy and Vice-President of the International James Joyce Foundation.
