Robert Adams summary at: http://home.adelphia.net/~hbjames/Intro_to_Ulysses.htm which is one of the best essays on a chapter by chapter analysis basis I have found. Bob Williams has a new site and I have told him that I think that these are the best chapter summaries (and analysis) anywhere online or in book form - mostly because he takes us through the chapter in an easily understandable way (I am sure he won't mind me passing this link on because he has recently announced it in 2 other James Joyce groups) and it is located at: http://www.jamesjoycestudies.com:137/joyce/docs.html Another site with chapter analysis and summaries which is a bit shorter than those above, but always worth reading (one needs different perspectives don't you think?) is found at: http://ksumail.kennesaw.edu/~mglosup/ulysses/ And THE best resource to find anything at all online about James Joyce is Jorn Barger's website at: http://www.robotwisdom.com/jaj/portal.html I use all of these resources (plus many other online sites) on a constant basis but the first 3 may be worthwhile actually printing. Paul ******** The bulk of my work on Joyce is at the Onelist site. Unfortunately the file section is only available to members. But I have an extended review of Paul Schwaber's Cast of Characters at http://rpg.net/quail/libyrinth/joyce/review_cast.html and the first draft of my outline of Finnegans Wake at http://interfacets.com/analogy/outline.html Although I have a paper on FW generalities, most of my work is on Joyce prior to the Wake. To this end I have a version of Chamber Music in the sequence prior to Stanislaus' interference, retellings with commentary of Dubliners, Exiles, Stephen Hero, A Portrait and Ulysses. My most individual contribution is my appendix to all this. The appendix (The Vopiscan Complex) deals with the effect on Joyce of his status as oldest surviving son and not the oldest son absolutely. (He had an older brother who lived only a few days.) I have written this several times and plan to rewrite it again but the gist of my study is already established. Very simply, this study examines the Real Absence as it appears in some of the Dubliners stories and how it blossomed into the conflict between Shem and Shaun in the Wake. Best Bob
