Publishing in Joyce's <i>Ulysses</i>

Appearing in an era of rapid change in the printing and publishing industries, James Joyce's 'Ulysses' exploited and exemplified those industries to the degree that the book can be seen as a virtual museum of 1904 media. 'Publishing in Joyce's 'Ulysses': Newspapers, Advertising and Printing', edited by William S. Brockman, Tekla Mecsnóber and Sabrina Alonso, gathers twelve essays by Joyce scholars exploring facets of those trades that pervade the substance of the book. Essays explore the book's incorporation of mass-market weekly magazines, contemporary advertising slogans, newspaper clippings, the 'Aeolus' episode's printing office and the varied typographic styles of successive editions of Ulysses. Placing Joyce's work in its historical milieu, the collection offers a fresh perspective on modern print culture.
