Reviews
" The 15-page conclusion should be required reading for everyone in the field of comparative literature, for it speaks to translation as interpretation and as creative transfer, and to the fact that good translators ought to be recognized for what they are: good writers. Comparatists whose work embraces Latin American literature will need this book."

"A significant contribution to critical method as well as to Joyce studies."
--Book News Inc.
"In this fascinating book, Mary Lowe-Evans challenges the fairly standard view that the effect of Catholocism on James Joyce's work was essentially one of reaction against it, to subvert the church."
--Literature and Theology
"Mary Lowe-Evans's engaging and original study of what she refers to as Joyce's "Catholic nostalgia" is a welcome indication that new kinds of critical engagement with the question of Joyce and religion are on their way."
