ABSTRACT

When I first began teaching Ulysses in the late 1970s, I wouldgive my students the following handout: 1. Don’t panic. 2. Don’t panic if after the first episode you haven’t understood much. 3. Don’t panic if you don’t know if you’ve come to the end of the first

episode. 4. Everything comes to those who wait. 5. Everything will be revealed by Linati and Gorman-Gilbert. 6. Everything comes in twos or threes. 7. If time permits, read Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
