“Presents Joyce enthusiasts another useful tool with which to probe the myriad folds of meaning in Ulysses. . . . Recommended.”—Choice“Suppl[ies] a panoramic survey of the field that should be of great interest both to veteran Joyceans, many of whom figure prominently in the narrative of critical history these pages trace, as well as to those who are comparatively new to the conversation but for that precise reason are all the more intent on knowing its backgrounds and current contexts.”—James Joyce Quarterly“Provide[s] readers of Joyce’s Bloomsday Book, newcomers and veterans alike, with an invaluable survey of the relevant critical terrain and with a map for future exploration.”—English Literature in Transition, 1880–1920“The collection offers a most valuable resource for undergraduates and, perhaps, graduate students daunted at the challenge of beginning work on Joyce. . . . An important addition to any university library.”—Modernism/Modernity
