Joyce’s Iritis and the Irritated Text: The Dis-Lexic Ulysses

Gottfried, Roy. Joyce’s Iritis and the Irritated Text: The Dis-Lexic Ulysses. Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 1995. First edition. Quarto. 193pp. Original cream cloth with gilt-stamped illustration and lettering on cover, gilt-stamped lettering on spine and back cover. “This book is the first study to consider the undermining effects of Joyce’s iritis on the text of Ulysses. Gottfried examines Ulysses much as Joyce must have tried to see it, in close readings of many small portions of the text, and with a quizzical eye. He locates the particular density and opacity of Ulysses in two sites: within the iritis in Joyce’s eyes and within the body of the text with its irritated confusion of letters.” (Zack Brown).
