    Who was the American judge who ruled that James Joyce's "Ulysses" was not obscene, thus allowing its legal sale in the United States eleven years after it was first published in 1922?

    Question #43989. Asked by shady shaker.

    Senior Moments

    Originally published in 1922, "Ulysses" was not legally available in the United States until eleven years later, when United States Judge John Monro Woolsey handed down his famous decision to the effect that the book was not obscene. Hitherto the book had been smuggled in and sold at high prices by "bookleggers" and a violent critical battle had raged around it. http://www.irishside.com/tis/content/nyt/118.htm
