Reprint, stapled. Condition: Gut. pp. 225-244. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - With dedication by the author. - A very good and clean copy. - From the text: In a November 1924 letter to Harriet Shaw Weaver, early in his work on…Finnegans Wake, Joyce vividly conveyed his sense of frustration: Complications to right of me, complications to left of me, complex on the page before me, perplex in the pen beside me, duplex in the meandering eyes of me, stuplex on the face that reads me. And from time to time I lie back and listen to my hair growing white. Textual scholars and literary critics who have retraced Joyces writing in an attempt to make sense of the documents that he left us and to find patterns that sometimes seemed to elude even their creator have experienced second-level versions of the original complex, perplex, duplex, and stuplex. In my own case, I listened to my hair falling out rather than turning white, but a life spent among manuscripts, scholarly editions, and large editing projects has convinced me that Joyces complaint about complications manifests itself almost daily and in fascinating ways. - Wikipedia: Michael Groden (1947-2021) was Professor of English at The University of Western Ontario.
