Recenzii

'An exemplary analysis ... No reader of Joyce could fail to benefit from this discussion.' Irish Studies Review
'An excellent book. To the vexed question of the political dimensions of Joyce's writings it brings an awareness of the complexity of the relation between literary texts and historical contexts, while at the same time providing historical material that will enrich readings of his works.' Derek Attridge
