More than just a walking guide, The Ulysses Guide provides an approach to James Joyce's Ulysses by following its eighteen episodes on their original locations and recreating the Dublin of 1904 against the background of today's streetscape. It explains the action of the book in terms of its settings and illuminates some of the more challenging sections of Joyce's work. This latest edition has been updated to incorporate new additions to the landscape, such as the Spire and the James Joyce Bridge, and changes to Joycean landmarks like the Ormond Hotel, Sweny's pharmacy and Barney Kiernan's pub. New research has thrown fresh light on some puzzling moments in Ulysses and challenged traditional views on Mr Deasy's school, Bella Cohen's reputation and Stephen's morning whereabouts.

Robert Nicholson was born and lives in Dublin. He studied English Language and Literature at Trinity College, and since 1978 has been the curator of the James Joyce Museum at the Joyce Tower in Sandycove. The Ulysses Guide was first published in 1988, establishing him as an authority on the locations of Joyce's novel, and in 2007 he wrote and presented a dvd for Arts Magic, James Joyce's Dublin: The Ulysses Tour. He is a founder member of the James Joyce Cultural Centre as well as a former chairman of the James Joyce Institute of Ireland. He is a regular contributor to The James Joyce Broadsheet.
