description: Having so served Yeats in a 1990 publication, Arkins (classics, National U. of Ireland-Galway) here identifies and analyzes the themes the Irish writer adopted from classical sources. He considers Joyce's knowledge of classics, the impact of solider Aristotle on philosophy, Ulysses and The Odyssey as a classic case of intertextuality, and the role of Greek and Latin in Joyce's language. He does not assume the reader is familiar with either Latin or Greek. The text is double spaced. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
