advertising canvasser

Mr. Ellmann found nobility in this "nobody - an advertising canvasser who, apart from his family, has virtually no effect upon the life around him."

The time is again 8 am, but the action has moved across the city and to the second protagonist of the book, Leopold Bloom, a part-Jewish advertising canvasser.

As he was completing work on Dubliners in 1906, Joyce considered adding another story featuring a Jewish advertising canvasser called Leopold Bloom under the title Ulysses.
