In Dublin in June 2022, a symposium of scholars celebrated the centenary of the original publication of Joyce’s Ulysses. This volume, a gathering of selected papers presented at that event, displays how vibrant and varied are the avenues of inquiry and research into Joyce’s works today. From orality to elegy, contemplating comparisons with artists as different as Ovid, Derek Walcot, and John Cage, these essays project inward (centripetally) and outward (centrifugally) to examine the receptions of Joyce’s works, their legacies, and the possible futures of Joyce studies.
Valérie Bénéjam teaches literature at Nantes University. Her study of the role of theatre and drama in Joyce's fiction (Joyce's Theatrical Poetics: The Novel Language of Drama) is soon to be published by the University Press of Florida.
Tim Conley is Professor and Chair of the Department of English at Brock University in Canada. He has written and edited several books on Joyce, the most recent of which is The Varieties of Joycean Experience (Anthem, 2021).
Sam Slote is a Professor in the School of English at Trinity College Dublin. He is the co-author of Annotations to James Joyce’s “Ulysses” (Oxford, 2022).
