The works of James Joyce, most brilliant and human of modern writers, continue to challenge and fascinate in their originality and relevance. This fresh re-evaluation of Joyce's work explores every important aspect of his writing in a series of articles by foremost literary scholars and creative writers.

The early stories of Dubliners, the neglected area of his drama and lyric poetry, the central achievements of Portrait and Finnegans Wake - the full scope and range of Joyce's work is re-examined.

Senior academic critics mingle with younger scholars to give in-depth insight. Three Irish novelists, each representing a different generation, Benedict Kiely, John McGahern and John Banville record their separate responses to a great precursor.

Biographical, citical and political insights are brought to bear on Portrait, while the bulk of attention falls, naturally, on the vast, varied landscape of Ulysses. As the book opens with an overview of Joyce's entire canon, it ends with a series of essays which place the great Irishman and his work in the larger perspectives of modern literature, criticism and sensibility. Brendan Kennelly's article - a unique experiment in criticism - brings the collection to a close with a vision of Joyce's life and work as a continuous tragic poem. (Verlagstext)
