Divison of Rare & Manuscript Collections, 2005. Web. 14 Jan. 2014. <http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/joyce/index.html>. Reasoning: This website contains an exhibition on the life of author James Joyce. It delves into his childhood and also the struggles he went through early on his writing career up until he found his merit as a great Modernist writer. This could be a great source into looking at some of Joyces writing styles and why he wrote how he did. For example, it explores into why nearly all of Joyces novels take place in Dublin and his use of Irish vices in his writing. Garvey, Brian.

Reasoning: This essay deals with Joyces approach to political and religious criticism throughout his writings, specifically Ulysses. He parodies these beliefs through his characters and their dialogue with each other. This offers a look into characters that might possibly reflect these ideals, and how their inner-conflicts may be representative of Joyces criticisms. Hogue, Brian. "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Homosexual." Courage Unfettered. N.p., 2003. Web. 14 Jan. 2014. <http://www.courageunfettered.com/stuf/homo/>. Reasoning: This essay goes into the theory that character Stephen Dedalus, an alter ego of Joyce himself, is a repressed homosexual. Seeing as how the theme I chose deals with conflicts within the self, this essay provides an interesting idea about not only the character of Stephen, but of Joyce too. It explores the misogynistic views of Stephen and of Joyces writings, and could allow for an interesting take on the final project about different literary viewpoints of Joyce. Lecuyer, Michelle Lynn, "Dante's Literary Influence in Dubliners: James Joyce's Modernist Allegory of Paralysis" (2009). Graduate Theses and Dissertations.Paper 10625. Reasoning: Michelle Lecuyer covers the importance that Dante and The Divine Comedy had on Joyces first published work, Dubliners. While people know that there are allusions to Dante in all of Joyces pieces, the amount of it is often overlooked in Dubliners. His Modernist writings shows off ambiguity without a sage-like figure to guide the dismal characters, which is where Joyces writing is mainly separated from Dante. It offers a look into his view of Dublin as a city

and its abysmal citizens, showing off different conflicts that people come to face with, and how, more often than not, fail to beat the conflict they face. Smith, Gregory O. "A CULTURED ALLROUNDMAN AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIFE: SCHEMATIC KNOWLEDGE AND SELF-CULTURE IN ITHACA." Hypermedia Joyce Studies, HYPERMEDIA JOYCE STUDIES VOLUME 12.1 (February 2012) ISSN 1801-1020. Hypermedia Joyce Studies, Feb. 2012. Web. 14 Jan. 2014. <http://hjs.ff.cuni.cz/main/essays.php?essay=smith>. Reasoning: This essay deals with Bloom and the essay Ithaca by A. Walton Litz. Ithaca deals with the book Historical and Miscellaneous Questions for the Use of Young People by Richmal Mangnall, which was a book Joyce kept while writing Ulysses. It questions the possibility of misinformation being given by Mangnall due to the book being used for student study, and how it applies to the character of Bloom. Bloom is this great man who went to the University of Life and is very intellectual through his own studies. Litz questions how Bloom is used both as a character and literary device for Joyce, and how his [Bloom] character has his own issues that must be resolved by him, and are not simply a reflection of Joyces person. Theme: The authors exploration of divisions, conflicts, and multiple forces within the self
