Sheldon Brivic is a leading authority on James Joyce and psychoanalysis who has also developed an interest in modem American fiction. Books of his in both fields were just accepted. The Joycean study, to be published by Palgrave-Macmillan, is called Joyce, Lacan, and Ziek: Exploring in Language. His fifth book on Joyce, it begins by identifying for the first time the primary model of writing in Joyce’s novels. It ends by arguing that the conclusion of Joyce’s last novel predicts the rise of Asia to the center of world power. It also explains Lacan’s Seminars on Joyce, the analyst’s major statement on literature, in clear and comprehensible terms. This book should be the first to relate Joyce to the sensational culture critic Slavoj Ziek. Earlier, Brivic wrote the first Lacanian book on Joyce, The Veil of Signs: Joyce, Lacan, and Perception (1991). Before that, he wrote the first psychoanalytic study of Joyce, Joyce between Freud and Jung (1980). So if he does put out the first Ziekian book on Joyce, it would complete a trifecta.
Brivic never gets tired of Joyce and is looking forward to new discoveries with the Irish bard. The other two books by Brivic were Joyce the Creator (1985), which describes how Joyce plays the role of God in his work, and Joyce’s Waking Women (1995), a feminist study of Finnegans Wake. In addition, he edited, with Ellie Ragland-Sullivan, a special issue of James Joyce Quarterly
Brivic received his M.A. from the City University of New York and his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. Besides serving on the board of Joyce Studies Annual, he is on the editorial boards of James Joyce Quarterly, and the Journal of Modern Literature. His articles have appeared in NOVEL, Massachusetts Review, and ELH, among other journals, and in books published by Indiana, Michigan, and Illinois, among other presses. His pieces have also come out in Canada, Ireland, Spain, and Japan. Thirty-five of these articles are on Joyce and two are on Virginia Woolf. Others are on Richard Wright, Jorge Luis Borges, the Tristan Legend, and a Scottish folk-rock group. called “Joyce between Genders: Lacanian Views” (1991).

Michael Groden holds an honorable D.Litt. from University College Dublin, a Ph.D. from PrincetonUniversity, a M.A. from Princeton University, and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. His primary research interest is in the works of James Joyce, and in his novel Ulysses in particular. He studies manuscripts for Joyce's works as evidence of his creative process and for their inherent interest, and this topic has become a prominent one in Joyce studies in recent years as new manuscripts for Ulysses have come to light. His work on Joyce's manuscripts leads to an interest in more generalized manuscript study (especially the French enterprise called critique génétique; Groden has co-edited a collection of French essays on the topic) and in scholarly editing and textual criticism. Teaching courses in literary theory in the 1980s and early 1990s led him to co-edit a reference guide to literary theory and criticism, a book that was published in 2005 in a second edition. Some of Groden's selected publications include: The Johns Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism. 2nd edition. Co-editor with Martin Kreiswirth and Imre Szeman (2005; online 2005); 1st edition (1994; online 1997); Genetic Criticism: Texts and Avant-textes. Co-editor with Jed Deppman and Daniel Ferrer (2004) Groden has received numerous awards and honors. He was named a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Western Ontario (2006); received an honorary degree from University College Dublin / National University of Ireland (2004); The Johns Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism Online named as 1997 Winner: Best Electronic Product — Internet — Social Sciences / Humanities by Association of American Publishers, Inc., Professional / Scholarly Publishing Division; Guggenheim Fellowship (1979-80); most recently Groden was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, which recognized him as "an internationally recognized authority on the works of James Joyce, especially Joyce's novel Ulysses, and the world's leading authority on the manuscripts for Ulysses."

During the eighties and nineties, she concentrated on Joyce, Ireland, and emergent methodologies for cultural studies. During the new millennium, shes says she’s “been rethinking the cultural through the lenses of phenomenology, the study of everyday social practices, and the ‘music scene.’” Over the years, her work has been funded by two NEH fellowships, a Guggenheim fellowship, a Howard Foundation fellowship, a residential fellowship at the Institute of Irish Studies at Queen's University (Belfast), and a University of Iowa Faculty Scholar Award.

Specific writers include Andre Breton, James Joyce, Jean Rhys, Gertrude Stein, Virginia Woolf, Djuna Barnes, Henry Miller and Anais Nin. Teaching classes on the American West as well as in the Art History department, Leonard includes early cinema and the formation of such film genres as the Hollywood Western, the Hollywood Romance, the Hollywood Melodrama, and Film Noir in his new book.

Dominic Manganiello holds a BA from McGill University and a D.Phil from the University of Oxford. He teaches and carries out research mainly in the area of modern British literature, and has been an advisory editor of James Joyce Quarterly for nearly two decades. Although he continues to write on canonical authors such as Joyce and Eliot, his recent work has also focused on a group of writers that includes, among others, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers, the Inklings, [especially J.R.R. Tolkien C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams], and their return to the Middle Ages either as the site of what Umberto Eco calls an “ironical revisitation” or as a quest to locate the roots of Western culture. His book-length project, Making Dante New, accordingly examines the nature of the high-level reception twentieth-century writers accorded The Divine Comedy. He is interested particularly in the various ways the medieval masterpiece serves as a catalyst for later writers intent on advancing an aesthetic of renewal that strives to keep the old and the new in dynamic balance. Whether they devise literary strategies to confirm, modify, or ironize the “horizons of expectations” of readers, the moderns sustain a rich intertextual dialogue with Dante grounded in the conviction that a luminous figure from the past still speaks to present cultural preoccupations. He is the author of Joyce's Politics (London: Routledge and Kegan Paul, 1980); of T.S. Eliot and Dante (London: Macmillan: New York: St. Martin's Press, 1989): and the co-author of Rethinking the Future of the University (Ottawa: University of Ottawa Press, 1998).

Although her field is Modernism—both Anglo-American and Continental—
Margaret Norris increasingly sees herself as a specialist in twentieth century literature, art, and culture. Her 2000 book, titled Writing War in the Twentieth Century was published by the University Press of Virginia and contains chapters on a range of writing about mass warfare in the 20th century—including both World Wars, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf War. This work grew out of an earlier book on the changing relations of the human to the animal and to the body in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century titled Beasts of the Modern Imagination: Darwin, Nietzsche, Kafka, Ernst and Lawrence, which was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 1985.
Her most sustained and devoted interest over the course of my entire career has been the work of James Joyce. “My love for Joyce began with the study of Finnegans Wake and resulted in The Decentered Universe of Finnegans Wake (Johns Hopkins, 1976). I eventually extended my interest to all of Joyce’s work in Joyce’s Web (Texas, 1992).” In the last few years she has produced two new books on James Joyce. Suspicious Readings of Joyce's 'Dubliners' was published by University of Pennsylvania Press in 2003, and Cork University Press in 2004 printed my monograph on the 1967 Joseph Strick film of Joyce's Ulysses. She has also edited the Norton Critical Edition of Joyce's Dubliners, published in 2006. “Can you tell that I think James Joyce's stories and novels are the greatest on the planet!” She serves as the President of the International James Joyce Foundation, and has published the following books: Ulysses.Cork: Cork University Press, 2004. (This study of Joseph Strick's film of Joyce's Ulysses is part of the series Ireland into Film); Suspicious Readings of Joyce's 'Dubliners' University of Pennsylvania Press, 2003; Writing War in the Twentieth Century. UP of Virginia, 2000; Joyce's Web: The Social Unraveling of Modernism. U of Texas P, 1992 Beasts of the Modern Imagination: Darwin, Nietzsche, Kafka, Ernst, and Lawrence.
