Review Quotes: "An indispensable volume for the Joyce novice and veteran alike, Terence Milleen's Ulysses Unbound is that rare work of scholarship which makes a text more lucid without diminishing its difficulty. . . . An outstanding entry in guides to Joyce and a genuine pleasure to read."--James Joyce Literary Supplement
