Ebook: The classical temper: A study of James Joyce's Ulysses

One of the finest examples of the novelistic approach to Ulysses is S. L. Goldberg's The Classical Temper: A Study of James Joyce's Ulysses. For Goldberg, the discontinuity of the narrative is bridged by the continuity of character development. His interpretive model is the Jamesian novel of character and dramatic conflict; he praises the technical innovations in Ulysses that contribute to the development of plot and character and criticizes the rhetorical experiments that impede this development.
