I'm going to say Ancient Greece
What? The only Ulysses I'm familiar with is the Tennyson poem. And as the main character of the Odyssey and the Iliad, but those don't take place in the twentieth century....Quote:

Methinks I'd study Japanese Feudal history, even though the various emporers can be all kinds of more confusing than the Kings of England. @_@
Biblical history is what I would (and did) study in college.
The novel Ulysses by James Joyce, which takes place in a day (June 14, 1908 or something, i dont remember) in Dublin.Quote:

Oh. Sorry, I've yet to cover Joyce in either my British lit or Irish lit classes. *feels slightly dumb and wishes she'd gotten the joke*
The 70s. Shaft!
I know a fair amount of history but in all honesty I wouldn't want to study any of it. Far too depressing. Instead I would want to take a class on theorizing the future. That would be much more fun.
Quiet, eest, you'll make people think the book is actually, y'know... comprehensible. :)Quote:

EDIT: capitalizing *nono*
it's a good read!
I am refusing to believe that on the basis of Dubliners.
World War II probably... or maybe the fall of the roman empire.
