For #Ulysses100 day, here’s a short thread with a few of my favourite records from the collection at @UkNatArchives relating to its suppression. I wrote a chapter of my PhD on Ulysses, and it will always have both a soft spot in my heart and a place in my worst anxiety dreams. Firstly, the Dir. of Public Prosecutions, opening with the remarkable assertion that he hasn’t read the book & implies he shouldn’t be expected to. He has read 42 pages starting from p.690 but blames the book, not himself, for the fact these pages don’t give him the full picture.
