Description:... In his comprehensive study of love in James Joyce's writings, DeVault shows that Joyce frequently ties his characters' personal and political pursuits to their ability to affirm both their loved ones and their fellow Dubliners. For Joyce, love for others need not compromise one's personal desires, but rather offers the possibility of a broader social compassion that creates a more progressive body politic.
