Joyce and Company is a comparative study which encourages a way of thinking about Joyce not as an isolated figure but as someone who is best understood in the company of others, whether from the past, the present or, indeed, the imagined future. Throughout, Pierce uses another figure or historical period or a language other than English to prove his argument that, whether (at the time) or now, Joyce is best understood in relation to other writers and contexts.

The book is organised in four parts:

- Joyce and History
- Joyce and Language
- Joyce and the City
- Joyce and the Contemporary World.

Pierce emphasizes Joyce's position as both an Irish and a European writer and attempts to show Joyce's
continuing relevance to the twenty-first century, not least in his commitment to language and to a discourse
on freedom.
