Kathleen Ferris is associate professor of literature at Lincoln Memorial University.
"Ferris accumulates an impressive array of signs and symptoms to
support her thesis." -- South Atlantic Review
"Revisionism this radical might prompt readers of this review to
dismiss Ferris out of hand as an extremist riding her personal
hobby-horse. To do so would be a mistake." -- Charles Rossman
"The disease in question is syphilis, and Ferris assembles a quite
impressive array of evidence, literary and medical, to argue that
Joyce contracted this disease in his early twenties and that he
then went on to infect not only his own family but also (by way of
confession) his two main characters, Stephen and Bloom, who betray
various symptoms in Ulysses." -- Year's Work in English Studies
