✦ Synopsis

In proposing that places, movements, and directions are deeply implicated in the narrative structure ofUlysses, Michael Seidel contends that Joyce recreates in Dublin the significant epic geography of the Odyssey. The author demonstrates how Joyce adjusts the spaces ofUlyssesto accommodate the three theaters of Homeric action as mapped by Victor Berard's Lex Pheniciens et I'Odyssee.
