Representations of the Jew have long been a topic of interest in Joyce studies. Neil Davison argues that Joyce's lifelong encounter with pseudo-scientific, religious, and political discourse about the Jew forms a unifying component of his career. He offers new biographical material, and presents a detailed reading of Ulysses to show how Joyce confronts the controversy of race, the psychology of internalized stereotype, and the contradictions of fin-de-siècle anti-Semitism.
