Additional text

’Dirk van Hulle’s impeccably researched and wide-ranging book is a major contribution to Joyce scholarship. Presenting the full book-history account of the published versions of "Work in Progress" that appeared in the sixteen years before the publication of Finnegans Wake in 1939, van Hulle persuasively argues that these texts constitute an important subject and series of texts in their own right.’ Michael Groden, Western University Canada
