This volume is an essential reference tool for reception scholars interested in the ways in which Joyce engaged with the classical tradition, in turn creating a long-lasting literary legacy of his own. * The Classical Review * Leah Flack convincingly shows James Joyce's deep immersion in a classical tradition. Carefully balancing an engrossing narrative style with rigorous scholarly learning, this book is an exciting departure for studies of Joyce's fiction: a journey into myth and history, leading from Homer to #metoo, which reveals the revolutionary potential of the classics and modernism, and their enduring relevance to our present era. -- Hunter Dukes, Research Fellow in English, University of Cambridge, UK
