Abstract: This paper aims at analysing references to the natural sciences in Ulysses (1920), by James Joyce their function in the novel and the nature of physics in it. The study also focuses on the ways that Joyce could have been influenced by Einstein’s theory of relativity while writing Ulysses. Various approaches to the role of the sciences in Ulysses will be considered, and several episodes will be analysed through the prism of the theory of relativity and non-Euclidean geometries.
