This article considers Ulysses in relation to legal, social and literary ideas of obscenity in the early twentieth century. I discuss the trial of the Little Review in 1921, in which the question of the text's obscenity was related to the responses of a particular audience, 'young girls'. I also consider, however, whether Joyce twists the meaning of obscenity in the 'Nausicaa' section Ulysses , asking whether it is Bloom's masturbation or the young Gerty's sentimental imagination which is obscene. The article explores the shifting relationship between Ulysses , obscenity and femininity
