cknoWledgementS
This project has been a long-term ambition for us, and thus has needed
the help and encouragement of many people, more than we can easily
thank here. Still, we are grateful to the University of York for hosting and
supporting the original 2012 conference, as well as the MHRA Conference
Fund for the award of £1000. Thanks also to those friends who helped out
at this event, such as Sarah Pett and Isabelle Hesse. It is also important to
thank Professor Derek Attridge, who supervised both of us during our
PhDs, for his continuing advice and support.
Special thanks go to the contributors to the volume, for entrusting
their excellent work to our hands, and to our editors at Palgrave. Thanks
also to our many friends in the Joyce community whose ear we have bent
about this project as it developed, many but by no means all of whom were
at the original conference: Vike Plock, Valérie Benejam, Anne Fogarty,
Luca Crispi, Sam Slote, Thomas Gurke, Jūraté Levina, Matt Hayward,
Arthur Rose, Michelle Witen, Paul Fagan, Ruben Borg, Tamara Radak,
Lloyd (Meadhbh) Houston, and Daniel Curran.
On a more personal note, Katherine wishes to acknowledge the impor-
tance of her friendship and collaboration with James, which has admirably
withstood the many hazards of edited collection partnership, and to thank
him for his unfailing editorial judgement and his calm in a crisis. She is also
happy to have been able to work with J. T. Welsch on this project, loving
both his work and himself, and thankful for Sasha’s doggy loyalty through-
out. She is also grateful for a research community at Sheffield that has
helped her mature as a critic (at least to the extent that she has), and the
moral support of Amber Regis and Fabienne Collignon in particular.

x ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
James would like to marvel yet further on the survival, nay strengthen-
ing, of his friendship with Katherine throughout this editorial process. She
brings the same characteristics to her editing as she does to her friendships:
diligence, consideration, and intelligence. He would also like to thank her
for indulging his crankish insistence on the value of the serial comma, the
difference between the words “crucial” and “important,” and the editorial
advantages of Courier New. He thanks Anna and Aengus for still being
there when he gets home and for being a home worth travelling 500 miles
for. He also acknowledges his sister Fiona, because she complained that he
didn’t last time.
