In this insightful video, we explore the story behind the censorship of James Joyce's Ulysses and its significance in the history of Modernist literature. We'll start by explaining what Ulysses is and why it was considered so controversial when it was first published. We'll discuss how societal norms and laws about obscenity influenced the banning of the book, and how authorities responded to its explicit content and unconventional style. You'll learn about the legal standards used at the time, such as the Hicklin test, and how these affected the perception of artistic works. We’ll also cover the shift in attitudes that led to a landmark court decision in 1933, which recognized Ulysses as a work of art rather than a moral threat.
