Publisher Synopsis
`a superlatively good biography of Joyce. It assembles, with a mastery Joyce himself would have admired, a great mass of published and unpublished testimony...It is informed by critical comment of high quality.' Frank Kermode, Observer. `It is deeply erudite and tremendously comprehensive, but more than that, it is compellingly readable and beautifully written.'

Ellmann achieves a prodigious feat of scholarship.' ___The Observer___ `wonderfullyintelligent, elated, always amusing.' Stephen Spender, ___Books___ `Perhaps the greatest literary biography ever written...Ellmann achieves a prodigious feat of scholarship, one even more comprehensive than (and as readable as) his recent life of Wilde.' ___Observer___ 'major scholarly work ... a new bench-mark for biography as a major vehicle of literary scholarship'John Batchelor, British Book News, September 1993 Read more...
