Cleo Hanaway-Oakley

Senior English Lecturer, University of Bristol (UK).

She is currently writing a book which traces James Joyce’s relationship with diverse forms of non-normative vision from the start to the end of his writing career. Her aim is to showcase and analyze the depth and variety of ocular interests displayed, both overtly and covertly, by Joyce. In her words: “The author’s own ailments can be found in the pages of his poetry and prose, alongside allusions to ophthalmology, references to advice manuals, and depictions of blindness.”
