Ulysses :: Concordance (with line numbers) →

Usually I can tell from their context, where the words scrawled in my notebook in need of definition come from in the text.  When I can’t tell, this is the fastest place to search.

Begob only occurs once outside the Cyclops episode.

Begob means “by god” and so does begorrah.

Rosenbach Museum & Library - Location of Ulysses manuscript (and currently hosting a neat looking lewis carroll exhibition. I am adding it to my philadelphia list right after the Mutter.) →

The Rosenbach Museum & Library is home to the manuscript for Ulysses, and a portion of the manuscript is always on display. The Rosenbach’s founder, Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach, was one of the most visionary collectors and dealers the world of rare literary books and manuscripts has ever known. Rosenbach, holder of a Ph.D. in English literature from the University of Pennsylvania, was well enough aware of the importance of Ulysses that he purchased the manuscript immediately when it was offered for sale in 1924.

The Rosenbach celebrates the Joycean tradition with an annual Bloomsday celebration on June 16. Bloomsday, the only international holiday in recognition of a work of art, brings scholars, devotees, and the general public together at 2010 DeLancey Place for hours of dramatic readings from the novel. The Rosenbach also produces a special exhibition related to Joyce, drawing from its substantial collection of modern literary materials.
