Paperback. This book is both a study of how James Joyce created two of the most iconic characters in literatureDLLeopold Bloom and Marion Tweedy BloomDLas well as a history of the genesis of Ulysses. From a genetic critical perspective, it explores the conception and evolution of the Blooms as fictional characters in the work's wide range of surviving notes and manuscripts. At the same time, it also chronicles the production of Ulysses from 1917 to its first editionin 1922 and beyond. Based on decades of research, it is an original engagement with the textual archive of Ulysses, including the exciting, recently-discovered manuscripts now in the National Library of Ireland.Luca Crispi excavates the raw material and examines the creative processes Joyce deployed in the construction of the Blooms and so the writing of Ulysses. Framed by a contextual introduction and four bibliographical appendices, the seven main chapters are a critical investigation of the fictional events and memories that constitute the 'lives' of the Blooms. Thereby, it is also a commentary on Joyce's conception of Ulysses more generally. Crispi analyzeshow the stories in the published book achieved their final form and discloses previously unexamined versions of them for everyone who enjoys reading Ulysses.This book demonstrates the various waysin which specialist textual work on the genesis of Ulysses directly intersects with other critical and interpretive readings. This volume is a behind-the-scenes guide to the creation of one of the most important books ever written. A ground-breaking book examining how James Joyce wrote Ulysses and, in doing so, created some of the most iconic characters in the history of world literature: Leopold and Molly Bloom.
