James Joyce and the Question of History

By James Fairhall

Book Overview

This ground-breaking book examines the work of James Joyce as a response to Irish and European history. Fairhall situates Joyce in his historical moment and explores Joyce's attitudes towards colonialism, nationalism, World War I, gender, and class. Although the book draws on a wide range of critical theories, it is clearly written and is accessible to any reader interested in the relation between Joyce's works and history.
