Ulysses is a
modernist novel by
Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialised in parts in the American journal
The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, and then published in its entirety by
Sylvia Beach in February 1922, in Paris. It is considered to be one of the most important works of
modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking."
