- Summary:
- In a dazzling set of essays, some of the most prominent scholars of James Joyce offer the first sustained analysis of the place of homoeroticism in Joyce's cultural politics. QUARE JOYCE will directly interest not only Joyceans, modernists, and students of Irish literature, but also scholars in the fields of postcolonial and queer theory and gay cultural studies.
