Books in the Writers and their Work series

Steven Connor's book is an animated, accessible critique to the whole range of Joyce's work, from Dubliners through to Finnegans Wake. It contains a revised bibliography and critical evaluation, taking account of the ever-rowing corpus of literary criticism of Joyce and his work.

This study explores how Jack London's Northland odyssey - along with an insatiable intellectual curiosity, a hardscrabble youth in the San Francisco Bay Area, and an acute craving for social justice - launched the literary career of one of America's most dynamic 20th-century writers.

This book offers the intelligent new reader a critically evaluative guide to Keats's major poems and letters.
