James Joyce: A Guide to Research, first published in 1982, is a selective annotated bibliography of works by and about James Joyce. It consists of three parts: the primary bibliography – which includes separate bibliographies of Joyce's major works, of scholarly editions or collections of his works of his letters, and of concordances to his works; the secondary bibliography – which includes bibliographies of bibliographical, biographical, and critical works concerning Joyce generally or his individual works; and major foreign-language studies. This title will be of interest to students of literature.
