Cóilín Owens is professor emeritus of English at George Mason University, coeditor of Irish Drama, 1900-1980, and editor of Family Chronicles: Maria Edgeworth's Castle Rackrent.
"An eminently insightful and informative study of a single story,
as well as a profound exploration of Joyce's position within his
own historical moment and its most urgent philosophical and
religious questions."--James Joyce Quarterly
"Inspires awe, admiration, and wonder. . . . There is something new
for every Joyce student and scholar to learn from Owens's thorough
research."--English Literature in Transition, 1880-1920
"One of the more intellectually capacious, wide-ranging studies on
Joyce and his work to emerge in some time. . . . Owen's book is
among the finest studies of Dubliners ever written as well as among
the best--most provocative, revealing, and useful--critical works
on Joyce to be published in some time."--Philological Quarterly
"While Owens has captured the breadth of subjects that a casebook
would offer, he balances his readings with a great deal of focused
and specific close reading. . . . This book is an excellent
companion for reading 'A Painful Case' and would be essential
reading for anyone engaging in an in-depth study of
Dubliners."--James Joyce Literary Supplement
