Joyce's Iritis and the Irritated Text: The Dis-Lexic Ulysses

By Roy K. Gottfried

Ulysses was written and proofread when James Joyce's vision was seriously blurred and impaired by iritis. The illness required him to use a magnifying glass to enlarge words, separating them out of context and distorting the simple letters in them. This book considers the effects of Joyce's iritis on the text of Ulysses.
