Joseph Brooker teaches English literature at Birkbeck College, University of London.
"A vibrant guide to the reception of Joyce's work by many minds and
cultures. Joe Brooker sifts the evidence with such clarity that his
own study becomes a distinguished addition to the canon of Joyce
criticism."--Declan Kiberd, University College Dublin
"This is indeed an original piece of writing that complements
existing criticism while extending scholarly knowledge. . . . Given
the volumes of criticism on Joyce's writings, this is a very
important work, for it provides a timely reminder, especially for
those who began work on Joyce over the past twenty years, of the
important contributions made by early critics."--Michael Patrick
Gillespie, series editor and coauthor of Recent Criticism of James
Joyce's Ulysses
"Joyce's Critics has personality. It reads like a well-written
novel of ideas. Its author has a sharp, economical style, a great
sense of pacing, an eye for anecdote, much lightly-worn learning,
not a little wit, and above all a way with his cast of characters,
the critics and schools of critics who populate its
pages."--English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920
