James Joyce and Education is a groundbreaking exploration of education throughout James Joyce's remarkable literary oeuvre. This comprehensive study delves into the intricate interplay between politics, aesthetics, and historical contexts, making it a significant contribution to the ongoing contemporary debate surrounding education, late modernism, and literary innovation.

In this highly original account, Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake are approached in fresh and thought-provoking ways. The book presents Joyce's text as a profound and comedic exploration of the representation of schooled education, serving as a testament to the elitism that state schooling was historically intended to reproduce and a devastating critique of the epistemologies it was meant to uphold.

Chapters within the book delve into a diverse range of themes, including Joyce's engagement with radical education, the profound influence of Nietzsche's writings on Joyce's work, and the exploration of women and education. This comprehensive study appeals to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students engaged in the fields of literature in education, pedagogy, Joyce scholarship, and modernism.

By examining Joyce's writings through the lens of education, James Joyce and Education offers a profound and multifaceted understanding of his artistic vision and its enduring relevance to contemporary discussions about education, society, and the human condition.
