Features: "James Joyce's works continue to bring us pleasure," wrote Richard Ellmann, "He displays the enduring qualities of a great writer. While compiling this biography, I felt no decline in my admiration for him." When Ellmann's James Joyce: A Critical Portrait was published in 1959, it was immediately recognized as the most important study of Joyce's life and a masterpiece of literary biography. The revised and expanded edition now adds one hundred new pages of content and notes, along with eighty-seven new illustrations, including a lost love affair, a set of dream records, and previously unknown letters, giving this monumental work a fresh face for a new generation of readers to appreciate. Ellmann's James Joyce: A Critical Portrait stands out for its thorough and detailed content—numerous previously unknown facts, letters, actual conversations, and poems. It is indeed a great pleasure to witness this monumental work take on a new look.
