The design history of Ulysses is no less interesting than its publication history. James Joyce himself was involved in the design of the Shakespeare and Company Ulysses. Some of the most creative minds of the twentieth century, including Ernst Reichl, Henri Matisse, Edward McKnight Kauffer, and Carin Goldberg, worked on subsequent editions. Just as Ulysses the novel has inspired generations of readers and writers, Ulysses the book has inspired generations of artists and designers.

Glenn Johnston is Treasurer of the James Joyce Society, a patron of the Museum of Literature Ireland, and a collector of books by and about Joyce. He has had a varied career, including stints in journalism, public affairs, and consulting. He studied Law at Trinity College Dublin.
