A collection of 18 essays, each of which offers commentary on one of the episodes in Ulysses . Throughout, the common critical concern is with varying articulations of femininities and masculinities in Joyce's modernist epic. Each contributor attends to the extensive and various markings of gender in Ulysses and examines the ways in which such markings generate and en-gender other meanings. Gender is treated as a form of overwriting, in senses that include both excess and layering. In this collection the differentiations of masculine and feminine , their definitions and elaborations, are approached in multiple ways and in changing contexts. Familial roles, labour assignments, perceptual modes, colonialist categories, sexualities, ethnicities, ways of knowing and learning, scents, tastes and eating habits are but a few of the cultural phenomena the scholars explore. The essays are also responsive to influential trends such as historicism, psychoanalysis and culture critique.
