• In honor of #Bloomsday, a day celebrating the life of Irish #writer James Joyce, we are excited to announce the upcoming exhibition Women and the Making of Joyce's Ulysses, opening in January 2022. James Joyce’s #Ulysses, considered one of the most famous Irish novels and a significant work of modernist literature, was first published on February 2, 1922. This exhibition at the Harry Ransom Center, curated by Clare Hutton of Loughborough University, marks the 100th anniversary of the book's publication and investigates the important and largely unacknowledged role of women in realization of his famed masterpiece. Objects from the Ransom Center’s #JamesJoyce Collection tell the story of the formative role of his family members and, in particular, of four women—Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, Harriet Shaw Weaver, and #SylviaBeach, who were associated with innovative literary experimentation of the period—all of whom helped Joyce’s novel gain widespread notoriety and success.
