In Framing Pieces, Whittier-Ferguson recovers and explores drafts, notes, glosses, essays, and guides that high modernists, such as James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, and Ezra Pound generated in order to interpret their own work. These archival materials reveal a complex picture of how texts like Finnegan's Wake, A Room of One's Own, Three Guineas, and ABC's of Reading were annotated and framed by their authors, and how the authors illuminated and obscured various aspects of the annotations.

In the early twentieth century the Modernist novel tested literary conventions and expectations, challenging representations of reality, consciousness and identity. These novels were not simply creative masterpieces, however, but also crucial articulations of revolutionary developments in critical thought. Tracing the developing modernist aesthetic in the thought and writings of James Joyce, Dorothy Richardson and Virginia Woolf, Deborah Parsons considers the cultural, social and personal influences upon the three writers.
The author of such classics as "Dubliners", "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", "Ulysses", "Finnegans Wake", and more, James Joyce is regarded as one of the greatest writers of all time. Known for his experimental use of language, Joyce endured controversy surrounding much of his work, including one of the most famous censorship trials in history. "Critical Companion to James Joyce" examines this groundbreaking Irish novelist by exploring his work and influences, including family, friends, relatives, and acquaintances, as well as important places where he lived and worked.
Frank Budgen's "James Joyce and the Making of Ulysses", first published in 1934, is the only first-hand account we have of the growth of Joyce's great work. The record of the painter's friendship with Joyce in Zuerich in 1918-19, when Ulysses was being written, it is also an acute critical commentary on the novel itself.

FINNEGAN'S WAKE by James Joyce http://finwake.com/ - site with annotations More material concerning this book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnegans_Wake
Finnegans Wake, named after a popular Irish street ballad, published
in 1939, is James Joyce's final novel. Following the publication of
Ulysses in 1922, Joyce began working on Finnegans Wake and by 1924
installments of the work began to appear in serialized form, first
under the title "A New Unnamed Work" and subsequently as "Work in
Progress." (The final title of the work remained a secret between Joyce
and his wife, Nora Barnacle, until shortly before the book was finally
published.)
The seventeen years spent working on Finnegans Wake were often
difficult for Joyce. He underwent frequent eye surgeries, lost
long-time supporters, and dealt with personal problems in the lives of
his children. These problems and the perennial financial difficulties
of the Joyce family are described in Richard Ellmann's biography James
Joyce. The actual publication of the novel was somewhat overshadowed by
Europe's descent into World War II. Joyce died just two years after the
novel was published, leaving a work whose interpretation is still very
much "in progress." BALLAD:
