"Claire A. Culleton's "Names and Naming in Joyce" is an immensely stimulating and engagingly readable work. Written with great verve, an engaging sense of humor, and an obviously impassioned interest in its subject, it demonstrates a confident mastery both of Joyce's work and of the scholarship on Joyce, consolidating a great deal of scattered research and integrating it with its own original insights to advance a coherent, unexpectedly fresh, and compelling argument about the ways in which Joyce thought about, selected, and used names in his fiction. Almost every major critic of Joyce has somewhere passingly acknowledged Joyce's fascination with names, but no one outside of this work has yet so systematically explored it."--John Bishop, University of California, Berkeley
