dc.description.abstractWhile considerable scholarly attention has been paid to the many references to official law in James Joyce's writing, allusions to alternative legal concepts and structures in these works have been largely ignored. The essay seeks to address this omission by teasing out the relevance of the unwritten agrarian code to Ulysses, linking it to the novel's broader themes. More specifically, it argues that viewing what is often considered to be a quintessential urban text through this particular rural lens draws our attention to tensions over land and resources at the time of the novel's setting and composition and complicates our understanding of its treatment of colonialism and anti-colonial nationalism, including its critique of both.en
