Reading Joyce's Ulysses

' This is a thoughtful interpretation that serious students of Ulysses will welcome. ' - Keith Cushman, Library Journal

' . . . Reading Joyce' s Ulysses will no doubt be useful to the student stalled in confusion when reading Ulysses for the first time. . . ' - A. D. Perls, Choice

' Instead of adding further chips to that mountain of critical apparatus which unfortunately frightens so many readers away, Schwarz emphasizes the joys that even a first reading of Ulysses can yield, and the ways in which the novel itself suggests how it should be read. . . ' - Graham Bradshaw, English Studies

Reviews of Hardback edition:

' Schwarz is very effective in mounting evidence of the staggering number of mythical and literary echoes sounded in its pages. . . Reading Joyce' s ' Ulysses' is a stimulating, suggestive book. ' - Melvin J. Friedman, James Joyce Quarterly

' . . . Schwarz moves easily and thoughtfully among wide ranges of critical thought. . . ' - Sanford Pinsker, ELT

' Reading Joyce' s ' Ulysses' is filled with instances of Schwarz' s careful, erudite understanding of Joyce' s metaphoric and allusive intentions. . . ' - Rosemarie Battaglia, Studies in the Novel

' A good first critical book to consult after a reading of the novel; as an interpreter, Schwarz is reasonable, lucid and very well read in Joycean criticism. ' - Professor Jefferson Hunter
