Abstract

The article examines Joyce’s development as an author and his changing use of the epistolary form. Joyce is interested in representing character subjectivity and uses free indirect thought and focalization to do so. Joyce often focalizes through and reports on the thoughts of a single character, replicating some of the traditional functions of the letter in fiction.
