This collection of twelve scholarly essays on the writings of James Joyce reprints seminal works in the field and presents them in a clearly delineated structure, providing a solid foundation
for new students of the author. The articles, many from the 1950s and 1960s, are divided into four sections covering Dubliners, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses and Finnegan's
Wake, and offer discussion of many themes, structure and archetypes from the works. Contributors include esteemed professors of English literature and linguists as well as Joycean scholars,
from primarily US universities. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
