AG's first review for TLS; wrote reviews from 1930 to 1954. An "authoritative exposition" written "under Mr. Joyce's supervision." "Conspicuous obscurities" include "esoteric themes.drawn from the doctrines of theosophy and from the historico-philosophical theories of the Italian Vico." Of the elaborate structure and Homeric references "what purpose, it may well be asked, is served by correspondences so involute that they must be referred to a tabulated formula to be recognized at all?" "His book, by removing from 'Ulysses' the hindrances of obscurity, has made a true and comprehensive valuation of this work possible.".

The "prodigious difficulties". of Work in Progress "are at least the outcome of a deliberate plan." It is "a simultaneous projection of many narratives." Work in Progress is "not so much an attempt to pack the universe between its covers as an attempt to give language a new vitality. ALP is "a delicate appeal to the senses which it needs no table of reference to appreciate." Of HCE: "Read aloud, as Mr. Joyce's work should be, the prose of this fragment has a stateliness appropriate to its matter, in ponderous, masculine contrast to the streamlike melodies" of ALP.
