Index of Recurrent Elements in James Joyce's Ulysses

Areference tool designed for twodistinct audiences: those who, having readUlyssesonce, want to explore the complicated web of allusions that form a major element in the text; those more experienced Joyce scholars who wish to locate quicklyallallusions to a particular element. The Indexis organized by page and line number from the 1961Random House edi­tion ofUlysses.When readers find the name "Bob Doran" in that edition, for example, they can check theIndexfor all further ref­erences to Doran. Almost 100 pages later inUlysses(167.29)Doran appears again. Here, as in all subsequent references to Doran, theIn­dexrefers readers back to 74.01. Scholars tracing image patterns or check­ing the recurrence of certain elements for any reason will find this book immensely useful: through the alphabetical index at the end they will be able to locate easily any re­current element in which they have a partic­ular interest. No longer will they have to hunt through 800 pages to find each refer­ence to whatever interests them. In working with theIndex,scholars using British editions or the 1834Random HouseUlyssesmay want to consult a conversion table, such as those provided by Clive Hart or Leo Knuth inTopographical Guide to James Joyce's "Ulysses"andThe James Joyce Dictionaryby Shari and Bernard Benstock.William M.
