Bibliography

Rezensionen

"Tuggle's chapter is appropriate and educational for both seasoned scholars of Joyce and those who wish to learn more. In considering the collection of chapters holistically, one sees that the other authors' essays are similar in that they offer a fresh investigation into their designated century of authorship as it related to the author(s) and text(s) discussed. My only minor quibble about the work as a whole is that an understanding of the general area of criticism requires knowledge about Barthes and his theoretical landscape, but Power's introduction is a wonderful presentation for those eager to learn and others who may require a refresher."
