Eighty years ago Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach purchased at auction the manuscript to James Joyce's Ulysses. It quickly became a prized personal possession. The author's own response to the sale -- Joyce sought to repurchase the work -- confirmed Rosenbach's decision to keep the manuscript for his own collection. Here, Barsanti examines the legacy of Ulysses & shows it to be a funny, descriptive, & eminently accessible love story. Ulysses is the quintessential Dublin novel, & this publication, accompanies the first ever exhibition of the manuscript in that city. Ulysses in Hand is the first traveling exhibition to be shown in the newly relocated & expanded Chester Beatty Library.
