Joycean References and Influences
It has been said that more writers and artists have been influenced by James Joyce than any other author of the twentieth century; and he is mentioned in more works than any other writer except Shakespeare. This page will attempt to gather together some of those influences and references, including Joycean name dropping, uses of Joyce as a fictional character, references to Joyce in popular culture, and literature profoundly influenced by, as Derek Attridge would say, “Joyce Effects.” First, a few notes:
1. Writers in Joyce’s immediate circle of friends, admirers, or enemies have been omitted. Therefore Samuel Beckett is not listed here, nor are Oliver St. John Gogarty, AE Russell, and similar authors.
2. Music inspired by Joyce’s work is dealt with on a separate site called Bronze by Gold, accessible from The Brazen Head’s “Music” button.
3. Films based on Joyce’s work and/or life are not included here, and may be found on the Film Page.
