Beskrivning
A fully contextualised catalogue of one of the most significant archival Joyce acquisitions of recent times.When Stephen James Joyce died on 23 January 2020, he and his wife Solange bequeathed an archival collection and library to the University of Reading, comprising a wealth of documents, photographs and rare books relating to James Joyce and his literary work. Some of this material has not been read by anyone outside the family, or was only shown to select scholars in the 1950s and 1960s and thereafter was kept private.This book contains a detailed catalogue of the Solange and Stephen James Joyce Collection, in order to present the collection’s contents in an accessible fashion for public readers and academic researchers. An introduction and headnotes draw on the rich history of Joyce scholarship, together with contextual essays from three well-known Joyce scholars. In combination, this material shows how the groundbreaking new collection has the potential to revise and reinvigorate understandings of Joyce and modernist literature for decades to come.
