L matters have long inflected Joyce scholarship, as befits criticism of a subject whose career involved litigations large and small, and who in life and literature repeatedly flagged crime and plotted punishment. The Joyce/legal studies cross-pollination has borne recent fruit, as shown by two 2017 volumes: Joyce in Court by the late Justice Adrian Hardiman and the essay collection Joyce and the Law edited by Jonathan Goldman.1 That it is part of a wider revitalization of literature and law studies is testified to by twenty-first-century works that include Joyce in re-assessments of literary modernism via legal discourse, including the writings of Sean Latham, Celia Marshik, Ravit Reichman, Paul K. Saint-Amour, and Robert Spoo.2 Dale Barleben’s new book, Staging the Trials of Modernism: Testimony and the British Modern Literary Consciousness, should have been a tremendous contribution to this burgeoning bibliography.
