focuses broadly on social, cultural, and historical
aspects of age and aging, using nonlinear perspectives to
explore how each topic might be applied to James Joyce
and his writings. With a special view that examines
nontraditional connections suggested by chaos theory as
applied to the humanities, these writers offer a new and
unconventional reading of the Joyce canon.
