About Joyce: A few suggestions
Derek Attridge, The Cambridge Companion to James Joyce. Cambridge, 1990.
Richard Ellmann, James Joyce. Oxford, 1959. New and Revised Edition, 1982. Mr. Ellmann was the premier Joyce scholar, and his picture adorns the walls of bookstores from Dublin to Galway. His biography of Joyce is regarded as one of the greatest literary biographies of this century.
A. Nicholas Fargnoli and Michael P. Gillespie, James Joyce A to Z: The Essential Reference to the Life and Work. Oxford, 1995.
Stuart Gilbert, James Joyce's Ulysses. Vintage, 1955. Still a good orientation to Ulysses because of its help with Homeric and other Classical parallels.
Don Gifford, Ulysses Annotated: Notes for James Joyce's Ulysses. With Robert J. Seidman. Revised and expanded edition. California, 1988.
