Description
Building on Women and the Making of Ulysses, the 2022 exhibition at the Harry Ransom Center for the Humanities (University of Texas at Austin), curator Clare Hutton joins us for this year’s Bloomsday lecture. She will reflect on the story which comes through when you gather material evidence of the emotional, administrative and financial support which women gave to Joyce in the period when Ulysses was in formation. The women in this narrative range from his closest confidants in family life (Nora Barnacle, Aunt Josephine) through to publishers and editors (such as Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap and Sylvia Beach). The story is full of gaps and surprises, and illuminates new ways of thinking about Joyce’s work.
