Joyce Criticism: “Finnegans Wake”

Joyce Criticism: Finnegans Wake

The number of books, pamphlets, essays, and monographs written about Finnegans Wake is vast—so very, very vast… Any attempt to catalogue them all is an act of madness. So having said that, this page will attempt to catalogue, well…most of them. Or at least, a lot of them. To bring some method to the madness, the section is divided into five categories. The books in each category are listed in order of publication date. Clicking the image of a book takes you directly to Amazon.com.
