The summer evening had begun to fold the world in its mysterious embrace. Far away in the west the sun was setting and the last glow of all too fleeting day lingered lovingly on sea and strand, on the proud promontory of dear old Howth guarding as ever the waters of the bay, on the weedgrown rocks along Sandymount shore and, last but not least, on the quiet church whence there streamed forth at times upon the stillness the voice of prayer to her who is in her pure radiance a beacon ever to the stormtossed heart of man, Mary, star of the sea. The three girl friends were seated on the rocks, enjoying the evening scene and the air which was fresh but not too chilly.

Most readers, including professional literary academics, spend little time wondering about the state of the texts they are using. Yet the nature and status of texts, and the method of their editing, have profound effects on the ways they can be read. Scholarly Editing in the Computer Age introduces the basic vocabulary of textual criticism, demonstrates how literary criticism suffers from ignorance of textual processes, and offers practical advice on the preparation, presentation, and uses of scholarly editions. Over the last decade, a major shift in the goals of scholarly editing has occurred, and the field has moved to acknowledge multiple texts and process as the editorial goal.

Ulysses (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ulysses is a novel by the Irish author 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 on 2 February 1922, in Paris. One of the most important works of Modernist literature , [ 1 ] it has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". [ 2 ] "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking." [ 3 ] Ulysses chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day, 16 June 1904 (the day of Joyce's first date with his future wife, Nora Barnacle ). [ 4 ] The title alludes to Odysseus ( Latinised into Ulysses ), the hero of Homer 's Odyssey , and establishes a series of parallels between characters and events in Homer's poem and Joyce's novel ( e.g. , the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope , and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus ).
