Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter ix. the indecency of clothing. Jated now with admiration of so great a mystery, let me proceed in peace to what still remains. The immaculate virgin who is stained by no lustful passion is rarer than a white crow or a black swan; for every day the barriers that confined the sex are removed, and she walks forth into a poverty that matches that of the dogs. (As Horace says ii Satire 7: Her wanton nature will leap forth, when the bridle has been removed.) If however you obtain a carefully confined and tender maid, undoubtedly bashful, good, chaste and modest, you have found one worthy, by Jove! to be dressed in royal purple and be a monarch's mate. When girls had been shut up in the gynaeceum for certain fixed intervals of time, they frequently obtained leave of egress, but then, as they left the mysterious apartment behind, a sentiment of awe inspired the more forward of the youths with modesty. Nor did they remain long, or to any purpose, in versatas ad tristem &dXafiov deducebant eunuchi, ne vagantes circa vicinas, levi indecoris notae macula polluerentur.

This is a detailed reader's guide to James Joyce's masterwork Ulysses, voted the most important novel of the 20th century. The guide provides episode by episode an in depth explanation of the action and symbolism, including a description of the related books of Homer's Odyssey and the correspondences. This guide is designed to give the user the keys to the kingdom of one of the wonders of Western civilization. The non-academic author, a retired lawyer and life long Joyce reader, brings new approaches to find the deep meaning of each of Joyce's episodes and the novel as a whole. The scope of this effort, the complete Joyce, is unique in an area monopolized by more narrowly focused academics. The analysis elucidates Joyce's technique to mimic patterns in history and nature in his architecture of coherence. His medicine for the diseased spirit of our age is a custom blend of Jesus and Buddha, not as they are marketed by institutional religions, but as they lived their lives as humans. Joyce's god is more possibilities in life and art, and this guide will do that for you.

In 1679 Hadriaan Beverland (1650-1716) was banished from the province of Holland. Why was this humanist scholar exiled from one of the most tolerant parts of Europe in the seventeenth century? To answer this question, this book places Beverland’s writings on sex, sin, and scholarship in their historical context for the first time. Beverland argued that sexual lust was the original sin and highlighted the importance of sex in human nature, ancient history, and his own society. His audacious works hit a raw nerve: Dutch theologians accused him of atheism, he was abandoned by his humanist colleagues, and he was banished by the University of Leiden. By positioning Beverland’s extraordinary scholarship in the context of the seventeenth-century Dutch Republic, this book examines how his radical studies challenged the intellectual, ecclesiastical, and political elite, providing a fresh perspective upon the Dutch Republic in the last decades of its Golden Age.

James Joyce and Censorship is the first book to tell the fascinating story of the trials of Ulysses. Based on extensive archival research, it is also the first study of the trials to analyze their influence on the reception and composition of Ulysses in the context of Joyce's lifelong struggle with the censors, to evaluate their significance as an important turning point in the history of censorship, and to emphasize their relevance to contemporary debates regarding freedom of literary expression.

A highly original exploration of Joyce's engagement with sexual questions.
