James Joyce's preoccupation with space-be it urban, geographic, stellar, geometrical or optical-is a central and idiosyncratic feature of his work. In this volume some of the most esteemed scholars in Joyce studies have come together to evaluate the perception and mental construction of space as it is evoked through Joyce's writing. With essays addressing all of Joyce's major works, this volume is a critical contribution to our understanding of modernism, as well as the relationship between space, language, and literature.
"Making Space in the Works of James Joyce is every bit as assertive and sure-footed as its title. Those with interest in Joyce's numerous geographies will want to make a space for it on their shelf."- James Joyce Literary Supplement
