Why? The book takes place in 1904, and Bloom was born in the 1860s.

People born in 1920 Ireland probably don't have a hard time understanding the references and language of 1904 Ireland anon...

People born in 1920 will read Ulysses in the 1940s. That's literally two world wars between them.

You think the average Irishman was well-read enough to pick up all the literary references?

Nevertheless Ireland was a completely different place in 1920. The country was in the middle of its War of Independence. Joyce's pacifism and attitude to colonialism would have fallen on deaf ears.
