Omar Khayyam in Monto: a reading of a passage from James Joyce’s Ulysses

Omar Khayyam in Monto: a reading of a passage from James Joyce’s Ulysses. Carole Brown.
Neophilologus 68 (1984) 6, pp. 623-636

Readers of James Joyce’s Ulysses have found Stephen’s disquisition on gesture and his subsequent illustration of Omar Khayyam’s bread and wine rather curious and none too lucid. Given the speaker’s state of inebriation, the time of day (or, rather, night) and the locality – both in terms of Dublin’s topography and on the Homeric level – this lack of lucidity is perhaps not surprising.

Summary:
By his own account, T. S. Eliot’s love for poetry began when he first encountered the Rubáiyát at the age of fourteen, although he also claimed that he soon outgrew FitzGerald’s poem. D’Ambrosio’s monograph examines the complex ways in which both the poem and the figure of FitzGerald himself continued to haunt Eliot throughout his poetic career. (Victorian poetry, 2008)
