Considered one of the most important modernist works in literature, James Joyce Ulysses (1922) is often referred to as a modern parallel of Homer’s epic poem, Odyssey.

Joyce portrays modernist concerns in the context of the 20th century by enhancing the structural similarities yet stark differences between the events and characters of the epic poem and his novel. His use of ingenious Characterisation and humour as well as literary techniques such as stream of consciousness, allusions and puns not only enrich the novel but also elucidate the inner workings of the mind and the nonlinear Progressions of thought.
