      abstract = {For more than a decade, the book that literary critics now  consider the most important novel in the English language  was illegal to own, sell, advertise or purchase in most of  the English-speaking world. James Joyce's big blue book,  Ulysses, ushered in the modernist era and changed the novel  for all time. But the genius of Ulysses was also its  danger: it omitted absolutely nothing. All of the minutiae  of Leopold Bloom's day, including its unspeakable details,  unfold with careful precision in its pages. The New York  Society for the Suppression of Vice immediately banned the  novel as "obscene, lewd, and lascivious." Joyce, along with  some of the most important publishers and writers of his  era, had to fight for years to win the freedom to publish  it. The Most Dangerous Book tells the remarkable story  surrounding Ulysses, from the first stirrings of Joyce's  inspiration in 1904 to its landmark federal obscenity trial  in 1933.},
