Vike Plock balances close readings of Joyce's major texts with thorough archival research that retrieves principal late 19th- and early 20th-century medical debates. The result is a fascinating book that details the ways in which Joyce reconciled, integrated, and blurred the paradigmatic boundaries between scientific and humanist learning.
