He was a major figure in and early adopter of genetic scholarship--the method of analysing a literary work by looking at its development from draft to draft, particularly suited to Joyce's stories and novels. He defended Hans Walter Gabler's Ulysses edition in the \"\"Joyce Wars\"\" and helped introduce the National Library of Ireland's new Joyce manuscripts to the world.    Bringing together twelve essays in three areas of Joyce criticism and scholarship, this refreshing book offers various personal adventures from a life lived with Joyce’s work. In a manner that is at once modest, rigourous, and accessible, Ulysses in Focus engagingly connects these scholarly developments and contretemps to the author's personal history and provides fascinating new genetic readings of several episodes of Ulysses that advance our understanding of the novel’s composition.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007973064977,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007976472849,"sku":"NIN9780813041728","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52138099147025,"sku":"NLS9780813041728","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813041724.jpg?v=1763114397"},{"product_id":"necessary-fiction-book-michael-groden-9781913087760","title":"Necessary Fiction","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51054902116625,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51054904836369,"sku":"NIN9781913087760","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/191308776X.jpg?v=1750964642"},{"product_id":"necessary-fiction-book-michael-groden-9781911454397","title":"The Necessary Fiction","description":"This unusual book is a fascinating work of personal criticism or \"biblio-memoir\" which will appeal to all interested in James Joyce's work, and, more widely, to those interested in responses to great art.
