"The ingenuity and industry of these two American scholars are astonishing." FW "a belildering masterpiece of compression." J creates "chords" via the puns etc, but they are inharmonious and can create unintended associations. "These private analogies and illustrations are a pedantic appendage.they contribute little or nothing." Joyce has used his book learning without discrimination, treating it with the frivolity of a jigsaw puzzle, laoding his magnificent theme with an impenetrable deadweight of cross-reference." "The language, the tone, the key of the whole book is uniform." Letters in response from F.Garfield Howe, no. 2383 (4 October 1947): 507; from Walter Taplin, no. 2384 (11 October 1947): 521.

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.'".

Jameson, Storm. "Literature Between the Wars: The Tyrrany of Things." Times Literary Supplement,

"The only bold figures of this time are those who, forcing their imagination to accept the fact of disintegration, wrote about it as natives--T.S. Eliot exploring the Waste Land, Joyce sinking himself so deeply in the world of the subconscious that at last he was out of touch with the social surface where usually we live.".

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.".

Scott-James, Rolfe Arnold. "The Progress of Mr Joyce." Times Literary Supplement,
no. 1944 (6 May 1939):
265.
S-J was a critic and editor, founded New Weekly (1914). Assistant editor of Spectator, edited London Mercury. Most of his reviews are biography. "Mr. Joyce is perhaps easily first among the literary innovators of to-day who have deliberately turned their backs on tradition in the conviction that life as it is honestly seen by perceptive minds to-day demands for its expression a new technique--in his case even a new vocabulary and a new grammar." "In turning his back on the language of communication which we know and inventig a new language of expression he has presented insuperable obstacles to complete understanding.".

Times Literary Supplement no. 1944,
(6 May 1939):
266.
"The best approach to it is through the ears, not the eyes." "In the main the method of the book may be said to be that of descriptive reporting.but sentiment, except as seem derisively from the outside, is barred." The author "is a scientist describing the objects revealed by his microscope--his joy is in the fact that he is able to see them wriggle, not that they wriggle.".

Clutton-Brock, Alan Francis. "Interpretations of Ulysses." Review of Joyce, James,

1936.
Times Literary Supplement no. 1825,
(23 January 1937):
56.
Compares JJ's method to that of post-impressionists, initially startling, but after time comprehensible. Commends styles of "Oxen," Scylla & Charybdis," "Nausicaa." "Ulysses is evidently the production of a man fascinated by language rather than by thought or observation." A "remarkable similarity between Mr. Joyce's compositions and the prose style of certain lunatics." "Ulysses.enables Mr. Joyce to exercise all his talent, his incredible virtuosity, to the full." "It is above all the profusion and fertility of language that will fascinate the reader." Clear that U is being evaluated in terms of "Work in Progress.".

In a retrospective issue "A Century of English Letters." English fiction becoming more influenced by foreign writers, European and US. "Without [the War's] bitterness the flower of Katherine Mansfield's genius might not have bloomed, the ferment that produced Ulysses have worked differently in Mr. Joyce and the fiery discontents of D.H. Lawrence have been less decisive.".

Times Literary Supplement no. 1481,
(19 June 1930):
510.
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.

1008.
AF C-B was the son of the other C-B and an art critic. "The dissatisfaction of the Irish with the English language and their efforts to change and revivify it make one of the most curious chapters in the history of English letters, but none has ever gone so far and made so many changes as Mr. Joyce." ALP "is written in an outlandish dialect." J is "trying to bring back the English language to a period like the Elizabethan, when each neologism was a happy discovery and the spout of words flowed freshly and with exuberance." "It cannot be denied that Mr. Joyce does at moments achieve an astonishingly vigorous diction, and there is sometimes beauty in his writing; though it is a beauty that can only be guessed at, like that of a poem in a language which we only half know.".

Clutton-Brock, Alan Francis. Review of Joyce, James,
Pomes Penyeach,
1927.
Times Literary Supplement no. 1345,
(10 November 1927):
814.
"At first sight it seems strange that a writer of Mr Joyce's character, so despondent and so porofoundly unsentimental, and so concerned with an untraditional kind of prose, should produce such a poem as this: ["Alone"]." "This occasional poetry lives always upon the hights, and if had not to express the most elevated emotions it would not be written at all. Any other but such high and turbulent emotions Mr Joyce would probably have expressed in his prose writings." J is an "occasional" as opposed to a "professional" poet, therefore adopts the "diction" of others. There is an "urgent sweetness" in the poems.a "concrete quality" to the imagery, e.g. in "Bahnhofstrasse.".

Of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses: "In contrast to those whom we have called materialists Mr. Joyce is spiritual; concerned at all costs to reveal the flickerings of that innermost flame which flashes its myriad messages through the brain, he disregards with complete courage whatever seems to him adventitious, though it be probability or coherence or any other of the handrails to which we cling for support when we set our imaginations free.".

Moore, T. Sturge. "The Mind to Suffer." Review of Joyce, James,
Exiles: A Play in Three Acts,
1918.
Times Literary Supplement no. 862,
(25 July 1918):
346.
A poet himself, Moore had been reviewing poetry for TLS. Comparing E to mixed reactions to P, he notes "an unacted problem play is not the book to clear the public mind. Yet this work does prove the author's imagination independent of stimulus from self-preoccupation; and, though a first play, roughly straining its means, it reveals sources of spiritual passion and constructive power which should greatly cheer the friends of his talent." He notes ambiguity. "Will not the Stage Society or the Pioneers let us and the author see this play, so that its shortcomings may become apparent to him and its virtues be brought home to us with their full force?" In a letter to Pinker (21 August 1918) JJ asks that he send the review to the Stage Society, Pioneer Players, and Miss Horniman of Manchester.

C-B was a frequent contributor, journalist, reviewer of literature and arts. He refers to occasional improprieties, "one on the very first page." In reference to the Christmas dinner scene: "no living writer is better at coversations." Dwells on self-disgust, disgust with others--uses word 5 times in a 1200 word article. "But what Mr Joyce gives us is the unwilled intensity of this youth's experience." Comparison to "Dostoevsky's Russians" "in the manner in which thoughts happen to them" "and also in the manner in which they can vent these in mere talk without ever passing on to action." "It is wild yough, as wild as Hamlet's and full of wild music." In JJ and the Making of U p. 75-76: "In the course of many talks with Joyce in Zurich I found that for him human character was best displayed—I had almost said entirely displayed—in the commonest acts of life.Before 1918 an article on Joyce, by the late Mr. Clutton Brock, appeared in the Times Literary Supplement. This was a critic whose work Joyce respected, and it appears that he greatly appreciated Joyce's writings, but in this article he reproached Joyce for the lack of distinction in his subject matter. 'What do you think he means?' said Joyce. 'From what you tell me,' I said, 'I suppose he means that the persons in your book are undistinguished—socially or spiritually—both, perhaps—and that their actions and destinies are not important.' 'Very likely you are right,' said Joyce. 'Clutton Brock has always treated my writings generously and with understanding, but if that is what he means he is certainly wrong. In fact he wrote to me about it also. He is stating the English preference for tawdry grandeurs. Even the best Englishmen seem to love a lord in literature.'".

Mavrogordato, E.E. Review of Joyce, James,
Dubliners,
1914.
Times Literary Supplement no. 648,
(18 June 1914):
298.
In the "new novels" section with Marion Hill's Sunrise Valley, Olive Wadsley's Reality, Wilkinson Sherron's The Marriage Tie. JJ is "not concerned with all Dubliners, but almost exclusively with those of them who would be submerged if the tide of material difficulties were to rise a little higher." "Dubliners may be recommended to the large class of readers to whom the drab makes an appeal, for it is admirably written." "Shunning the emphatic, Mr Joyce is less concerned with the episode that with the mood which it suggests." M also reviewed that year Figure Skating in the English Style, The Gourmet's Guide to London, True Irish Ghost Stories. Eustratius Emmanuel Mavrogordato, 1870-1946, was a barister and frequent contributor to TLS and Times. He wrote over 2,000 reviews from 1908 to 1946. Times obituary (8 November 1946) notes "His free and flowing style, backed by shrewd judgement and accurate perception, gave his reviews distinction as well as authority.".
