Reviews
"Analyzed with careful research and depth"
--Virginia Quarterly Review
"On the whole, Gottfried's elegant study of Joyce's oevre will reward diligent readers with new insights concerning major Joycean ideas of father, son, consubstantiality, epiclesis, heresy, freedom, art, and power to begin the list."
--James Joyce Quarterly
In Joyce's Misbelief, Roy Gottfried paints Joyce as a writer who all his life pondered "the nature of God and the means of religious worship." Gottfried delineates that much of Joyce's work seeks out disruptions in language, in culture, and in gender as well. Conclusively interprets Joyce's life and works as a permanent campaign against a narrow Gaelic nationalism and its accompanying Catholic dogmatism.
