This short book offers three accessible essays. "Joyce's Boarding House "shows how the use of language in "Dubliners " might justify his claim for the book as a chapter in the moral history of Ireland. "Portrait of the Artist as an Undergraduate" considers two very different ways of reading Joyce which together have made "Portrait" an ironically appropriate 'set book'. An essay on "Ulysses" explores the puzzling theological concerns which shaped Joyce's reaction to his mother's death and to his own extraordinary literary creations.
