Joyce's Critics
Transitions in Reading and Culture
Joseph Brooker

Irish Studies in Literature and Culture, Michael Patrick Gillespie, Series Editor

"I have not come across a book as useful and as discerning as this on the present state of Joyce criticism."—Robert Baker, University of Wisconsin–Madison

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.

"Complements existing criticism while extending scholarly knowledge. . . . A very important work."—Michael Patrick Gillespie, coauthor of Recent Criticism of James Joyce's Ulysses

Joseph Brooker teaches English literature at Birkbeck College, University of London.

the cover of Brooker's book is a photo of a statue of Joyce.
