    The New Joyce Studies indicates the variety and energy of research on James Joyce since the year 2000. Essays examine Joyce's works and their reception in the light of a larger set of concerns: a diverse international terrain of scholarly modes and methodologies, an imperilled environment, and crises of racial justice, to name just a few. This is a Joyce studies that dissolves early visions of Joyce as a sui generis genius by reconstructing his indebtedness to specific literary communities. It models ways of integrating masses of compositional and publication details with literary and historical events. It develops hybrid critical approaches from posthuman, medical, and queer methodologies. It analyzes the nature and consequences of its extension from Ireland to mainland Europe, and to Africa and Latin America. Examining issues of copyright law, translation, and the history of literary institutions, this volume seeks to use Joyce's canonical centrality to inform modernist studies more broadly.

    • Provides new hybrid critical approaches, Showing readers how different theoretical methodologies such as postcolonial, posthuman, medical, and queer studies can be combined to achieve new approaches
    • Shows readers how studies of Joyce incorporate continental, Latin American, African, and other non-Western perspectives
    • Shows readers how minute details of composition and publication can be gathered and integrated with contextual events to form a holistic narrative of a text's emergence
