BBC Arena ‘James Joyce’s Ulysses’

For Ulysses readers past, present and future who didn’t catch Adam Low’s film James Joyce’s Ulysses on BBC2 last night, it will remain available to view online for the next eleven months.

Over an hour and a half the film visits Trieste, Zurich, Paris and Dublin, telling the tale of how Joyce came to write his masterpiece, the struggle to get it published and how he and Nora Barnacle lived their lives together. With archive footage and contributions from scholars and writers including Salman Rushdie, Colm Tóibín, Anne Enright, Howard Jacobson, Eimear McBride, Paul Muldoon, John McCourt, Nuala O’Connor, Vivien Igoe and many others. Apologies to those who can’t access the BBC but catch it if you can!

  1. Hi Joan,

    I think it may be difficult for you to access the film in the US unless the BBC website will allow you to view content (I suspect it won’t). I will see if I can find out what plans there may be to show it or make it available for download in the US.

    Best,
    Nicky
