One Hundred Years of James Joyce’s Ulysses
Exhibit at the Morgan Library

IA Newsletter, June 18, 2022

June 16, 2022 by Leave a Comment

Ulysses by James Joyce is ranked by Modern Library as the number one book of the 20th Century.

June 2 through October 2, 2022

The Morgan Library presents One Hundred Years of James Joyce’s Ulysses from June 3 through October 2, 2022. Set on one day, 16 June 1904, James Joyce’s Ulysses follows the young poet Stephen Dedalus and the unlikely hero Leopold Bloom as they journey through Dublin. The groundbreaking novel links the epic to the ordinary, connecting characters and motifs from Homer’s ancient Greek poem the Odyssey with life in the Irish city that created Joyce. Written in self-imposed exile between 1914 and 1921, Ulysses expanded the limits of language and genre—and not without controversy. Censored and banned in America and England for obscenity, its publication in Paris a century ago was the catalyst for new legal standards of artistic freedom.

One Hundred Years of James Joyce’s “Ulysses” explores Joyce’s trajectory from lyric poet to modernist genius. It considers key figures in his career; artists and writers who responded to the novel; and the family who shaped him as a man and writer. At the exhibition’s heart is Joyce’s imagination as he created his masterpiece, explored in manuscripts, plans, and proofs, with major contributions from the James Joyce Collection, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York.

This presentation celebrates a significant gift to the Morgan by Sean and Mary Kelly, who over several decades accumulated one of the foremost Joyce collections in private hands.

Onsite docent-led exhibition tours run every Friday and Saturday at 12:30 p.m. beginning on June 24, 2022, and special programs related to the exhibit will be featured.
