ABSTRACT
Critics have long been occupied with the project of mapping the routes and locations of James Joyce’s Ulysses. However, though there are at least fourteen named hotels in the novel, this key space of modernity has been strikingly absent from this work, and Ulysses has also been largely overlooked in emerging criticism on the hotel in modernism. In this chapter, I consider the ways in which the hotel functions as an exemplary space of the everyday. Crucially, I demonstrate how Joyce interrogates, through the hotel, the hierarchies of power operating at the intersections of class, sexuality, and morality.
