This book constitutes a reconsideration of Joyce, which may have theoretical implications in terms of language, sexuality and politics for any study of literature. Colin MacCabe brings together some of the world's leading authorities on Joyce - among them, Fritz Senn, Stephen Heath, Raymond Williams, Seamus Deane and Maud Ellmann - to celebrate and examine Joyce's investigations into language and narrative. This authoritative collection marked the centenary of the birth of one of this century's most innovative writers and is now reissued in paperback with a new introduction by Stephen Heath which assesses the most recent developments in Joyce studies.
