Volume Editor:
Joyce was fascinated by error throughout his writing career, from the malapropisms of characters in Dubliners, through to misquotations and misappropriations in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and the errors and gaffes committed by Leopold Bloom in Ulysses. This interest culminates in the ceaseless perversions of language, perspective and fact in Finnegans Wake. Error is not, however, something that Joyce only writes about: it happens to him and his texts in the form of misprints and inadvertent factual errors, through the interventions of others and through lapses in Joyceâs own practice. Indeed, part of the richness of this topic for those who are interested in Joyceâs writing is the difficult process of disentangling deliberate features of the text from unintended slippages.
Errears and Erroriboose is the first major collection of essays to address the topic of Joyce and error. It brings together eight essays in order to provide readers with an understanding of the diverse ways in which error features in Joyceâs writings. A variety of different critical perspectives and approaches to the topic can be found here and the volume is of interest to students of Joyceâs work at all levels. These include archival and genetic study of the role of error in the composition of Joyceâs works; consideration of the psychological implications of error; work on the material and historical consequences of error; and close readings of the verbal effects of errors and mistakes.

âThe essays in this volume, though very different in scope and concern from one another, cover a variety of issues and topics, all of which should be of interest to readers on whatever level they find themselves when attempting to grapple with the hidden secrets and possibilities of Joyceâs chaosmos of âmany counterpoint wordsâ(FW 482.34). [â¦] one would not err in reading this book. Like the ouroboros biting its own tail, erroriboose generates renewal of meaning.â - A. Nicholas Fargnoli, in: James Joyce Literary Supplement, Fall 2012, pp. 9-10
