Admit it.
We all have a list of books that we'll tackle "some day." Well . . . some day is here.

Ulysses Seen, an attempt at making a graphic novel of Ulysses, just got a faclife, and it looks amazing. LibriVox, which is associated with the Internet Archive, has an audio version of Ulysses. The reviews are not good, and parts of it are rough. Perhaps I can edit some of this and add them to the pages later. Columbia University has posted a decent version of Ulysses with hyperlink annotations: This site offers an online concordance of Ulysses, which is really great. This site links photos with the Ulysses text. Sometimes these pictures are helpful, but they are always entertaining. Project Muse posts issues of James Joyce Quarterly. The Internet Classics Archive at MIT provides access to ancient works, and this site is good too (but not exhaustive). This site provides some helpful essay, especially regarding parallels between Ulysses and the Odyssey. I love sacred text from the underbelly of Christianity--that is, pseudo-Gospels, Gnostic texts, and texts on the mystery cults of the ancient world. Two of my favorite sources are the The Nag Hammadi Library and the Internet Sacred Text Archive. Theosophy concepts crop up often in Ulysses. The Theosophy Library offers some of the key texts of that movement. The Christian Classics Ethereal Library offers some key texts from early Christianity. |
