James Joyce: A Study in Words

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  02 December 2020

Extract

In the beginning was the Word . . .

The writings of Joyce show a progression from an early interest in words through a mature use of them to the excessive fondness of old age. In spite of variation from one work to another, the development is not always consistent and steady; sometimes there is a reversion to a former phase, sometimes an advance into a future phase. The direction, however, is unmistakable.
