Curator’s Introduction: Women and the Making of Joyce’s Ulysses

Join us for the premiere of Curator's Introduction: Women and the Making of Joyce's Ulysses , a free online lecture with exhibition curator Dr. Clare Hutton. Marking the moment when James Joyce’s Ulysses turns 100, Hutton will introduce some of the key ideas, objects, and people featured in the Ransom Center’s centenary exhibition Women and the Making of Joyce’s Ulysses. This landmark work of literary modernism owes a considerable debt to the silent behind-the-scenes labour of three gay American women: Margaret Anderson, Sylvia Beach, and Jane Heap as well as that of British publisher Harriet Shaw Weaver. What did these women do to facilitate the making of the work? What actually happened on February 2, 1922? Who were the first readers of Ulysses? How did they obtain their copies and what did they make of the book?
