Studies: an Irish Quarterly Review. Summer 2004, Vol 93, No 370
A fascinating episode in the long story of Ireland’s reaction to James Joyce is analysed in the current issue of Studies. In an essay by Bruce Stewart called Another Bash in the Tunnel: James Joyce and the Envoy, the focus is on a volume called A Bash in the Tunnel: James Joyce by the Irish (1970), edited by man of letters and publican John Ryan, and including articles by Flann O’Brien, Patrick Kavanagh and others which they had contributed to a James Joyce special issue of Envoy, which Ryan had published in 1951.
The issue also has an article on Joyce’s schooldays by Bruce Bradley – the doorway of Belvedere College adorns the cover of this issue – Peter Costello on Joyce and the remaking of Modern Ireland, and James Pribek SJ on Newman and Joyce.
