Culture/Capital A Speculative Consideration Of James Joyce's Ulysses, Audrey Del Grosso

West Chester University Master’s Theses

This thesis explores how a speculative consideration of James Joyce’s novel Ulysses that combines postcolonial and Marxist and theoretical perspectives can challenge traditional critical approaches that are dogmatically one-sided.
