As secretary of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, John S. Sumner lodged a complaint against The Little Review, in which Ulysses was serialised. The editors Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap were charged with obscenity for publishing the "Nausicaa" episode in their journal's April 1920 issue, convicted in a New York court, and fined.
