Joyce Estate Sued by Joycean Scholar
Just in time for Bloomsday, Carol Shloss, a Stanford acting English professor and Joycean scholar this week sued James Joyce’s estate for refusing to give her permission to use copyrighted material about the Ulysses author and his daughter on her Web site:
The dispute centers on Shloss’ research for Lucia Joyce: To Dance in the Wake, her 2003 book that posited James Joyce’s mentally ill daughter was the muse behind Finnegans Wake, his last novel
Would it be cynical to think of Bloomsday as a celebration of annual lawsuits against the Joyce estate?
