Abstract

This study examines the book reviews that James Joyce wrote for the Daily Express in 1902 and 1903, finding there early traces of stylistic motifs common to his mature fictional writing. Because these are works of nonfiction, they present some unusual opportunities for analysis and offer a distinctive insight into the young Joyce’s continuing experiments with prose. In addition to drawing attention to an otherwise little-studied area of his work, this continuity of style over a discontinuity of genre is an instructive resource when considering Joyce’s later achievements and his stylistic development as a whole.
