December 6, 1933: Ulysses is ruled not obscene
On this day, a federal judge rules that Ulysses by James
Joyce is not obscene. The book had been banned immediately in both the United
States and England when it came out in 1922. Three years earlier, its
serialization in an American review had been cut short by the U.S. Post Office
for the same reason. Fortunately, one of James' supporters, Sylvia Beach, owner
of the bookstore Shakespeare and Co. in Paris, published the novel herself in
1922.
