Rezensionen

"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)
