Tomlinson is mollified since earlier criticism of FW. "Full marks must be given to Mr. Levin for his painstaking introduction" to the works and FW. "We confess we never understood it before." "Mr. Levin's is a consummate performance in explanation." "He succeeds in his aim to 'help the reader to overcome the obstacles that sometimes discourage the reader of Joyce.'".

Tomlinson, Philip. "The Significance of James Joyce: Ulysses & Its Phantasmal Expedition." Times Literary Supplement,
no. 2034 (25 January 1941):
42, 45.
Tomlinson wrote hundreds of reviews between 1926 and 1955. In TLS (2 May 1935): The battle for U "is over for most people already; and the leading younger critics who acclaimed it on its startling appearance are old enough now to confess that it was probably after all but a triumph of virtuosity or a splendid failure." FW is widely criticised, but the passing of J has" stirred the embers of old fires." J knew all about writing, and as a humorist, "may it not be that grown contemptuous of his talents, he threw them all away?" Severe criticism of punning in FW: "We must retain some intelligible communication unless we are to lose our wits." "He alone has the secret." If FW is impossible, JJ must be judged on U: "a phantasmal expedition into the conscious and sub-conscious.scenes of genius and long stretches of dullness and pretence." U is "a world of drab humanity." "The story of Joyce's artistic struggle makes one of the saddest in the history of literature. There is tragedy in it. He was defeated by life, and a fine intellect was overthrown in a brave expedition to discover the inaccessible and grasp the intangible.".
