Mary Reynolds studies the rhetorical and linguistic maneuvers by which Joyce related his work to Dante’s and shows how Joyce created in his own fiction a Dantean allegory of art. Dr. Reynolds argues that Joyce read Dante as a poet rather than as a Catholic; that Joyce was interested in Dante’s criticism of society and, above all, in his great powers of innovation.
