Night Joyce of a Thousand Tiers: Petr Skrabanek: Studies in Finnegans Wake

Night Joyce of a Thousand Tiers represents the collected essays of Petr Skrabanek, Czech émigré and pioneer Joyce scholar. These essyas, originally published in the 1970s and 1980s in mimeographed versions and in small publications such as A Wake Newslitter are now made available for the first time in a complete edition in book form. Skrabanek's contribution to Finnegans Wake studies has often gone largely unrealised outside the footnotes and acknowledgements of the major standard scholarly editions, by writers such as Clive Hart and Roland McHugh. With the publication of Night Joyce of a Thousand Tiers the work of this pioneer Joycean is finally able to be properly assessed in its full extent, and to take its place alongside the major works of Skrabenek's contemporarys.
