The question is not 'what is a novel?', but what can a novel be?  Ulysses is the answer'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePatrick McGuinness from his preface to Ulysses: The Restored Text\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInitially rejected by several printers in Dublin and London for containing 'obscene' content, Ulysses was first published in book form in a limited-edition printing of 1000 copies by Shakespeare and Company in Paris in 1922. A subsequent printing was impounded by US customs and for a period the novel was famed for its notoriety rather than its literary achievement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike its author, Ulysses exists in a complicated push-pull relationship with its language - English - and its setting - Ireland. Joyce returns to the themes that had preoccupied him in previous works, including nationalism and empire, religion, identity and sex in a novel which gloriously brings Dublin on June 16th 1904 to the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition of Ulysses: The Restored Text includes the revisions that Joyce made to the novel during his lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Joyce","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43176812347635,"sku":"9781529405538","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/products\/9781529405538.jpg?v=1662089732","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/ulysses-james-joyce-9781529405538","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
