3.27 analysing Penelope 4 The end of the core project in which Russell reads and then analyses every page of Ulysses. On You Tube it's 100 of 100 videos. Here we consider the eighth and last sentence of Penelope, the episode that has so intrigued readers well beyond the Joyce circle since 1922, famously including, as currently depicted in a photographic exhibition in London, Marylin Monroe.

Whilst that concludes the core project, stay tuned for more bonus episodes which will look at slightly broader aspects of the book.

3.25 analysing Penelope 3 Let's analyse sentences 6 & 7. As well as simply giving his views on the passages, Russell will try to align them, as Joyce directs that we must, with Molly representing mother earth, Gea-Tellus, turning slowly but perpetually on her axis.Penguin Classic: 906Gabler: 628Project Guttenberg: that was a relief, wherever you be
