<p>Michael Groden has been at the forefront of some of the most important developments in James Joyce studies over the past three decades. He was a major figure in and early adopter of genetic scholarship--the method of analysing a literary work by looking at its development from draft to draft, particularly suited to Joyce's stories and novels. He defended Hans Walter Gabler's <em>Ulysses</em> edition in the ""Joyce Wars"" and helped introduce the National Library of Ireland's new Joyce manuscripts to the world. </p> <p>Bringing together twelve essays in three areas of Joyce criticism and scholarship, this refreshing book offers various personal adventures from a life lived with Joyce’s work. In a manner that is at once modest, rigourous, and accessible, <em>Ulysses in Focus</em> engagingly connects these scholarly developments and contretemps to the author's personal history and provides fascinating new genetic readings of several episodes of <em>Ulysses</em> that advance our understanding of the novel’s composition. </p>
