    Hey,

    I'm looking for a good feminist critism of Joyce's portrait.
    I have found several, including one very good one dealing with Davin's encounters in the Ballyhoura Hills.

    Any other suggestions?

    They're referring to Joyce's book "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man".

    OP: Well firstly, I would recommend you go and do actual research, that's always better than copying off a web forum, you'll understand the theory better, you'll learn some critical analysis and you'll also pick up ideas and concepts that will enable you to do better in future assignments as well as real life.

    If you're interested in feminism, perhaps get some actual feminist theory and do some criticism yourself?

    however, in true UL spirit, no doubt you'll respond with something that re-enforces my belief that no one actually cares about their courses and just wants to do enough to pass so:

    cheers...

    i've done literary theory before. we were just caught on the hop with very little literature on the topic and given a set of very strange instructions on how to carry it out.

    was simply hoping for a kind soul like yourself to assist...much appreciated :)
