EM Forster: “an inverted Victorianism”

Ulysses is a dogged attempt to cover the universe with mud. It is an inverted Victorianism, an attempt to make crossness and dirt succeed where sweetness and light failed, a simplification of the human character in the interests of Hell.”

EM Forster.

EM Forster also called Ulysses: “Perhaps the most interesting literary experiment of our day.”

As you can see, no one was neutral about this book.
