问题                                     James Joyce’s Ulysses
    In 1918, James Joyce’s novel Ulysses was published in installments by a small Greenwich Village magazine, The Little Review.The novel, which uses stream-of-consciousness storylines to compress universal concerns into a single day in the life of three characters in 1904 Dublin, immediately came under the eye of the New York Anti-Vice Society because of its frank sexual content.
    The publishers were tried under obscenity provisions in the U. S. Postal Code in 1920 and were found guilty, fined, and ordered to cease publication. Ulysses’ banned status and publicity from the trial, however, generated widespread interest among some writers and readers.
    In 1922, an American bookseller in Paris, Shakespeare Co, published the first edition, which sold out instantly. Joyce found champions in poets Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot and novelist Ernest Hemingway. He was hailed by some even as the greatest modem writer of English  prose.  The book was routinely smuggled into both the United States and Great Britain, where it was also banned.
    Random House waged a four-year legal battle to publish Ulysses in the United States and won its landmark case in 1934. Four years later, the book was published in England. By the end of the 20th century, Ulysses is taught in colleges and universities around the world.  Scholars admire its audacity and poetical vision. Readers love its playful humor and humanity. Some critics consider its publication the signal event in the emergence of the modern novel.  In 1998, a board of distinguished writers convened by Random House’s Modern Library series selects Ulysses as the best novel of the century.
