Recenzje

'This book presents evidence of Joyce's development that has the authority of a documentary chronicle. With intellectual and critical intelligence of exceptional discernment, Catherine Flynn has given us a field-altering account of Joyce's literary career and its establishing circumstances.  James Joyce and the Matter of Paris will be indispensable for Joyce studies as well as for scholars of modernism.'
