Criticism and Analysis of Joyce’s Work
Did you ever want to play mind games with a tree? Just take every book, research paper, newsletter, essay, and journal devoted to illuminating the mysteries of Joyce, and gather them all into a big pile: the sheer amount of paper alone could make an entire forest recoil in horror. Indeed, the esoteric world of “Joycecrit” is something of an academic cottage industry, and a comprehensive survey of more “serious” Joycean criticism would be a project worthy of an entire Web site all to itself. Therefore, the following list does not aspire to completion – its goal is to catalog some of the more noteworthy, useful, or intriguing works commonly accessible to the interested reader.
