James Joyce’s novel Ulysses (1922) was banned for being considered prurient and obscene. It was first serialized in Margaret Anderson’s and Jane Heap’s The Little Review in 1918–20. The U.S. Post Office seized and burned four issues of the magazine and then convicted Anderson and Heap on obscenity charges; each was fined $50. In 1922 Sylvia Beach, the proprietor of the Parisian bookshop Shakespeare and Company, published Ulysses in book form. The novel became the subject of a famous obscenity case in the United States, where it was not published in its entirety until 1934.
