Full Description
Making the case that legal issues are central to James Joyce's life and work, international experts in law and literature offer new insights into Joyce's most important texts. They analyze Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Giacomo Joyce, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake in light of the legal contexts of Joyce's day.
