Rezensionen

"The essays in this collection draw upon letters, unpublished papers and personal accounts to offer valuable insights into each author's personal encounter with Joyce. ... Undoubtedly a splendid opening, this collection might best be followed by more specialised studies of Joycean influence in certain spheres: twentieth century American and Latin American novelists, for example. An undergraduate or casual reader may also find that the well-edited Joycean Legacies renders the seemingly 'impossible question' of Joyce's impact and influence far more approachable." (Tobias Harris, James Joyce Broadsheet, Issue 104, June, 2016)

"The volume as a whole succeeds in sketching a panorama of Joycean influences which casts a light on the

complexities of inheritance and tradition - especially when that tradition is predicated upon innovation and 'the new'. ... Joycean Legacy is faithful to this intent ... and is definitely worth reading for all those who wish to encompass the ramifications of Joyce's hypertextual resonances - whether deliberate or accidental - and the problems set by his institutionalization." (Philippe Birgy, Miranda, miranda.revues.org, 2016)

"For anyone working in the field of Joyce and subsequent literature it goes without saying this book is a necessity. It has started a legacy all of its own, and long may it be added legs by more and more such work being condensed into collective or single-author studies on this very subject. A timely tome on Joyce's enduring timelessness." (Daniel Bristow, Irish Studies Review, Vol. 24 (2), 2016)
