A compelling and often overlooked work of literary investigation, Gone to Glory makes the case for Moroni Traveler—the enigmatic figure long rumored to have inspired aspects of James Joyce’s Ulysses. Robert Irvine blends biography, literary criticism, and historical detective work to explore one of modern literature’s most intriguing footnotes.
An appealing copy for collectors of Joyceana, modernist literary criticism, and well-preserved first editions from the late 20th century.
