From a genetic critical perspective, it explores the conception and evolution of the Blooms as fictional characters in the work's wide range of surviving notes and manuscripts. At the same time, it also chronicles the production of 'Ulysses' from 1917 to its first edition in 1922 and beyond.
Based on decades of research, it is an original engagement with the textual archive of 'Ulysses', including the exciting, recently discovered manuscripts now in the National Library of Ireland.
The book excavates the raw material and examines the creative processes Joyce deployed in the construction of the Blooms and so the writing of 'Ulysses'.
Framed by a contextual introduction and four bibliographical appendices, the seven main chapters are a critical investigation of the fictional events and memories that constitute the 'lives' of the Blooms. Thereby, it is also a commentary on Joyce's conception of 'Ulysses' more generally.
'Becoming the Blooms' analyses how the stories in the published book achieved their final form and discloses previously unexamined versions of them for everyone who enjoys reading 'Ulysses'.
This book demonstrates the various ways in which specialist textual work on the genesis of 'Ulysses' directly intersects with other critical and interpretive readings.
'Becoming the Blooms' is a behind-the-scenes guide to the creation of one of the most important books ever written.

This essay investigates how in Ulysses James Joyce created several textual, biographical, tempora... more This essay investigates how in Ulysses James Joyce created several textual, biographical, temporal, and topographical discrepancies at the narrative origin of Leopold Bloom and Molly Tweedy’s life together. The textual and contextual evidence indicates that there were two (or possibly more) “first nights” ― different firsts on different evenings ― for the soon to be Blooms. This is one of the many instances in the book when the “facts” in the fiction ― as well as some of the seemingly analogous facts outside the novel ― do not cohere. The genetic study of this kind of temporal and spatial slippage in the book’s purportedly coherent texture challenges readers’ preconceptions about the fixity of the character’s life-stories in the narrative and uncovers some of the ways in which Joyce relied on the names and some facts derived from the lives of real people in a variety of often unexpected ways to create the life-stories of his fictional characters.
This essay explores the moments in the creative process when Joyce established certain narrative ... more This essay explores the moments in the creative process when Joyce established certain narrative elements about Molly’s closest (and, as far as readers know, only) female friend in Gibraltar, Hester Stanhope, as well as the narrative consequences of emphasizing Mr. Stanhope’s attraction to the young Molly. From a genetic critical perspective, it studies the gradual, complex, and sometimes elusive ways in which Joyce wove the narratological patterns that serve to construct his characters. Such a mode of analysis reveals the strategies through which specialist textual work directly intersects with other critical readings. The ways in which Joyce developed the Stanhopes are paradigmatic of the construction and function of many of the book’s minor players. He did not create the secondary and tertiary characters for their own sakes but rather to illuminate various aspects of Leopold and Molly Bloom and their love story. In this case, the most basic role the Stanhopes play in Ulysses is as the background of Molly’s reflections about her sexuality as a young woman in Gibraltar in 1886 and in Dublin in 1904.

By arranging this related information along different material and chronological axes as I have done in the three sections of this study, it is possible to narrow the dates of Joyce's active work on particular documents. It is also possible to uncover patterns that enable a more precise understanding of the creative processes that produced Ulysses. This journal is a testament to the fact that — more often than not — Joyce manuscript studies are congenial and collaborative endeavours, so I hope that the facts and analysis provided here will prompt further work to elaborate and refine the history of the book's production. Below are the abbreviations and conventions I have formulated to organise an over-arching picture of Joyce's work on Ulysses. Although each holding library has established its own relatively clear system of cataloguing its Joyce manuscripts, the often long strings of different numbers may be off-putting and at times confusing to scholars just starting their archival research or those who are exploring different aspects of the textual genesis of the book. Rather than adding yet another layer of complexity to the conventional citational numberings, I have devised a bibliographically accurate and consistent system of identifying the Ulysses manuscripts in all holding libraries that should prove useful for future critical work on these documents. Note that the three other sections of this study all open in new tabs and are organised in the following ways: The first section, A Census of the Extant Ulysses Manuscript by Episode, is a comprehensive list of all the surviving manuscripts and documents of Ulysses that are also organised by the book's three parts as well as by its eighteen individual episodes. This arrangement of the information will be particularly useful to scholars whose primary interest is an in-depth study of the textual evolution of a particular episode. Navigating through the information is simple: just select Ulysses at the top of the page to see all the manuscripts for all the episodes, or select a part of the book or an individual episode title to just view the full index of its textual material. Then click 'back to top' to select another part or episode, or just scroll up and down to move to another episode and click on its header for more information. Each header sets out the full range of the active dates of Joyce's work on a particular episode as well as the city or cities where he worked on it. Each episode's index lists all of its extant manuscripts and documents. The various kinds of Drafts

The manuscripts document how Joyce created their life-stories non-sequentially in a piecemeal fashion over many years. This essay challenges some of the ways that readers usually think temporally about the intertwining strands of a real life's linear chronology and the multi-faceted possibilities of narrative chronology. Based on a textually-informed, genetic-critical methodology, it explores Joyce's creative process and shows how primarily archival work can fruitfully intersect with a broader range of critical close readings — it thereby also investigates some of the radical innovations in Ulysses. By tracing the dynamic evolution of the text, we see what Ulysses actually was at various stages along the way, thus re-contextualizing the published work in a much wider textual and historical environment.

‘Living Texture’: A Review of the Dublin James Joyce Summer School, 6-11 July 2015
Essay Abstracts
From a genetic critical perspective, it explores the conception and evolution of the Blooms as fictional characters in the work's wide range of surviving notes and manuscripts. At the same time, it also chronicles the production of 'Ulysses' from 1917 to its first edition in 1922 and beyond.
Based on decades of research, it is an original engagement with the textual archive of 'Ulysses', including the exciting, recently discovered manuscripts now in the National Library of Ireland.
The book excavates the raw material and examines the creative processes Joyce deployed in the construction of the Blooms and so the writing of 'Ulysses'.
Framed by a contextual introduction and four bibliographical appendices, the seven main chapters are a critical investigation of the fictional events and memories that constitute the 'lives' of the Blooms. Thereby, it is also a commentary on Joyce's conception of 'Ulysses' more generally.
'Becoming the Blooms' analyses how the stories in the published book achieved their final form and discloses previously unexamined versions of them for everyone who enjoys reading 'Ulysses'.
This book demonstrates the various ways in which specialist textual work on the genesis of 'Ulysses' directly intersects with other critical and interpretive readings.
'Becoming the Blooms' is a behind-the-scenes guide to the creation of one of the most important books ever written.

‘Living Texture’: A Review of the Dublin James Joyce Summer School, 6-11 July 2015
Essay Abstracts
From a genetic critical perspective, it explores the conception and evolution of the Blooms as fictional characters in the work's wide range of surviving notes and manuscripts. At the same time, it also chronicles the production of 'Ulysses' from 1917 to its first edition in 1922 and beyond.
Based on decades of research, it is an original engagement with the textual archive of 'Ulysses', including the exciting, recently discovered manuscripts now in the National Library of Ireland.
The book excavates the raw material and examines the creative processes Joyce deployed in the construction of the Blooms and so the writing of 'Ulysses'.
Framed by a contextual introduction and four bibliographical appendices, the seven main chapters are a critical investigation of the fictional events and memories that constitute the 'lives' of the Blooms. Thereby, it is also a commentary on Joyce's conception of 'Ulysses' more generally.
'Becoming the Blooms' analyses how the stories in the published book achieved their final form and discloses previously unexamined versions of them for everyone who enjoys reading 'Ulysses'.
This book demonstrates the various ways in which specialist textual work on the genesis of 'Ulysses' directly intersects with other critical and interpretive readings.
'Becoming the Blooms' is a behind-the-scenes guide to the creation of one of the most important books ever written.
