Joseph Brooker s synthesis lucidly summarizes more than seventy years of Joyce criticism. This is the first broad study of how James Joyce s work was received in the Anglophone world, accessibly written for both academic and lay readers. Brooker shows how the reading of Joyce's work has moved through different critical paradigms, periods, and places, and how Joyce s writing has given generations of readers a way to discuss the major issues of the modern world.

Locked in the Family Cell is the first book on Ireland to provide a sustained and interdisciplinary analysis of gender, sexuality, nationalism, the public and private spheres, and the relationship between these categories of analysis and action. Kathryn Conrad examines the writers and activists who are resistant to simplistic nationalist constructions of Ireland and its subjects.

Since the 1960 publication of her first novel, "The Country Girls," award-winning Irish writer Edna O'Brien has been both celebrated and maligned. Praised for her lyrical prose and vivid female characters and attacked for her frank treatment of sexuality and alleged sensationalism, O'Brien and her work seem always to spawn controversy, including the past banning in Ireland of several of her works. O'Brien's attention to "women's" concerns such as sex, romance, marriage, and childbirth has often relegated her to critical neglect at best and, at worst, outright contempt. This essay collection...

In this landmark study of James Joyce s "Finnegans Wake," Luca Crispi and Sam Slote have brought together fourteen other leading Joyce experts in a genetic guide to one of the twentieth century s most intriguing works of fiction. Each essay approaches "Finnegans Wake" through novel perspectives afforded by Joyce s preparatory manuscripts. By investigating a work through its manuscripts, genetic criticism both grounds speculative interpretations in an historical, material context and opens up a broader horizon for critical and textual interpretation. The introduction by Luca Crispi, Sam...

'Riot and Great Anger' suggests that while there was no state censorship, the theatre often evoked heated responses from theatregoers, sometimes resulting in riots and the public denouncement of playwrights and artists. This text examines the plays that provoked these controversies.
