Issues:
All issues and articles are available below. Genetic Joyce Studies will be updated once a year. Please contact us if you would like to be kept informed about intermediate updates (dirk.vanhulle@uantwerpen.be). Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
Bibliography:
This section contains an updated version of the bibliography of Genetic Studies on Joyce. The list is divided into six categories (General Studies, Catalogues, Early/Other Works, Ulysses, Editions of Ulysses, Finnegans Wake), and so works by individual critics are split into these various categories.
Tools & Queries:
This section offers a set of research tools that may be of use for genetic investigations (lists of books ordered by James Joyce, a bibliography of genetic Joyce research, chronological surveys of prepublications, etc.). This cooperative site is also a forum for queries: for instance, the editors of The Finnegans Wake Notebooks at Buffalo give notice of unsolved enigmas concerning the sources of specific entries. Any help is welcome and will be acknowledged in the edition.
Lost & Found:
Transmissional departures, variants or dead ends in the writing process tend to disappear in the mass of manuscripts. Thanks to genetic research, isolated lost words are rediscovered occasionally by different researchers. Our Lost & Found section is designed to collect these textual items, accompanied by short textual notes concerning the circumstances of their disappearance.
