Inspired by the work of Margot Norris, this volume takes up her theme of how James Joyce’s works open up a host of new possibilities: for interpretation, for stylistic “iridescence,” for narrative, for other possible worlds, and for gender equality.

This volume proposes to honor the trenchant, influential scholarship of Professor Margot Norris in essays that amplify her illumination of Joyce’s oeuvre. The common denominator running through her work is her openness to Joyce’s various modes of innovation; she pioneered alternative ways of regarding his fiction, the readers it addresses, the narrative and generic forms it alters, the world to which it refers, and the nature of the socio-historical status quo it exposes. These categories anchor and organize the collection: Joyce’s textual plurivalence, formal innovations, possible worlds, emergent histories (including those of women), and variegated readerships.

Joseph Valente is UB Distinguished Professor, the University at Buffalo. He is currently Vice-President of the Northeast Modern Language Association.
