Reviews

"This is a delightful book: nicely informative, clearly written, elegantly printed and produced. It reads smoothly, like an intriguing story-often dramatic, tragic even, but with a pervasive taste of foreboding and a persistent sense of future promise-written, almost as in fiction, by a model writer inviting the reader to participate in the construction of the text....[You] will find great reward in this biographical study."-Irish Studies Review, Vol 7, #1, 1999

?His research is admirable and, for the foreseeable future, this short, readable book should be the major authority on an extrememly important period of Joyce's life....Recommended for undergraduate and graduate collections.?-Choice
