Frank Delaney's Re: Joyce

Eyeing the student Sargent, Stephen considers saints, sons, and mothers.

Stephen's reflections on a poor student plumb the limits of a mother's love.

A boy stays after class, and Joyce toys with both authority and identity.

As Stephen's class lets out, a riddle is asked and answered, satisfying nobody.

Stephen is a somewhat merciful teacher. Musings on Jesus, government, and riddles.

Stephen's classroom; a library in Paris; Blake and Aristotle; dragons and souls.

Observations on the author, and the history of Ulysses.

In Stephen's classroom, Joyce brings in Milton. Reflections on drowning.

In Stephen's musings on history, real and potential, Frank finds a recurring Joycean theme.

Stephen muses on first-rate wit and second-hand history.
