That was my take too.
But what stands out for me from Woolf's review is what I imagine many of Joyce's contemporaries felt. Seems some of her objections were more about breeding and social class than anything else. Her private thoughts on the novel were even more pretentious and snobbish, it seems. Ironic, since those are the exact things many want to attribute to Ulysses (and/or Ulysses proponents). **Shrug**
