"James Joyce, Ulysses, and the Construction of Jewish Identity" is a scholarly work by Neil R. Davison that explores the portrayal of Jewish identity in James Joyce's iconic novel, "Ulysses". The book delves into the cultural, biographical, and historical contexts that influenced Joyce's depiction of Jewish characters, particularly the protagonist Leopold Bloom. Davison examines the complex relationship between Irish and Jewish cultures in the early 20th century, and how this influenced Joyce's work. He also discusses the broader theme of 'the Jew' in Modernist Europe, providing a detailed analysis of the social and political factors that shaped the representation of Jewish identity in literature during this period.
