Acknowledgments
I would like to thank several individuals at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I worked on the bulk of this project.
William Brockman, the English Librarian at UIUC, was very helpful in
initial advice about search strategies and places to start along with
possible sources. Richard Kuster, who taught a course in Online Searching
in Spring, 1996, gave good advice about where to search online--which
databases and online catalogs would probably give me results, along with
search techniques.
While doing my research for this project, I came across several helpful
bibliographies which expanded my list of possibilities of sources. Thomas
F. Staley's An Annotated Critical Bibliography of James Joyce (1989)
was a good general source with annotations that actually helped me weed through the possibilities for inclusion. The James Joyce Quarterly Checklist, currently compiled by William Brockman, was a goldmine of information, revealing sources that even the mo
st detailed
search in the MLA database would not uncover. The bibliography in
Sheldon Brivic's Joyce's Waking Women: An Introduction to Finnegan's
Wake (1995) was a wonderful resource for current scholarship, even
though the book was not a study of Ulysses.
I also am grateful to Bonnie Kime Scott, particularly for her books,
Joyce and Feminism (1984) and New Alliances in Joyce Studies
(1988), because of their solid overviews of the feminist perspective
of Joyce, particularly in the historical sense. Vicki Mahaffey's
Reauthorizing Joyce (1988) and Susan Stanford Friedman's
Joyce: The Return of the Repressed (1993) were both valuable
sources, and ones I found early on.
In feminist theory, I am particularly indebted to Elaine Showalter for
Speaking of Gender (1989). Her Introduction helped me see some of the
implications of both feminist and gender theory. Jeri Johnson's "Beyond
the Veil..." (1989) finally clarified some of the differences between French
and American schools of feminism.
And finally, thanks to Carole Palmer, for her words of encouragement, and
for the example she set in showing me that bibliography is not dead.
