Abstract
Will the case that argues for Brian O'Nolan's authorship of "Interview with Mr. John Stanislas [sic] Joyce (1849-1931)," published in A James Joyce Yearbook in 1941, ever be fully dismissed? This essay revisits the evidence supporting the claims of O'Nolan's authorship—evidence promulgated and perpetuated by such reputable scholars as John V. Kelleher and Hugh Kenner—as well as the testimony, constituting the counter-argument, from O'Nolan's friend and biographer Anthony Cronin and his friend Niall Sheridan in an attempt to cast reasonable—if not irrefutable—doubt on O'Nolan as the perpetrator of a fraud of significant literary consequence.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1963 at the University of Tulsa by Thomas F. Staley, the James Joyce Quarterly has been the flagship journal of international Joyce studies ever since. In each issue, the JJQ brings together a wide array of critical and theoretical work focusing on the life, writing, and reception of James Joyce. We encourage submissions of all types, welcoming archival, historical, biographical, and critical research. Each issue of the JJQ provides a selection of peer-reviewed essays representing the very best in contemporary Joyce scholarship. In addition, the journal publishes notes, reviews, letters, a comprehensive checklist of recent Joyce-related publications, and the editor"s "Raising the Wind" comments.
