The first book-length treatment of Joyce and hospitality James Joyce and Samaritan Hospitality reads Dubliners and Ulysses through studies of hospitality, particularly that articulated in the Lukan parable of the Good Samaritan. It traces the origins of the novel in part to the physical attacks on Joyce in 1904 Dublin and 1907 Rome, showing how these incidents and the parable were incorporated into his short story 'Grace' and throughout Ulysses, especially its last four episodes. Richard Rankin Russell discusses the rich theory of hospitality developed by Joyce and demonstrates that he sought to make us more charitable readers through his explorations and depictions of Samaritan hospitality. Richard Rankin Russell is Professor of English and Graduate Program Director in the English department at Baylor University. His books include Modernity, Community, and Place in Brian Friel's Drama (Second Edition, 2022), Seamus Heaney: An Introduction (Edinburgh University Press, 2016) and Seamus Heaney's Regions (2014).
