Companion to James Joyce

Richard Brown is Reader in Modern Literature in the School of English at the University of Leeds. As well as a wide variety of articles on Joyce and other areas, Brown has published three books on the author: James Joyce and Sexuality (1985), James Joyce: A Postculturalist Perspective (1992), and Joyce, “Penelope” and the Body (2006). Since 1980 he has been co-editor of the James Joyce Broadsheet, a journal which continues to publish articles, book reviews, illustrations, news, and other material connected to the work of Joyce, three times a year. He currently serves as an elected Trustee of the International James Joyce Foundation.

“Essays offering new riffs and revisions stand out--Vicki Mahaffey on Dubliners, Finn Fordham on Finnegans Wake, Declan Kiberd on the Odyssey, Rabaté on French theory, and Daniel Ferrer on genetic criticism--and one welcomes the contributions of newer scholars, e.g., Katherine Mullin. Recommended.” (Choice, November 2008) "A diverse collection … A fascinating discussion of Joyce." (James Joyce Broadsheet, October 2008)
