This path-breaking volume looks at Joyce's thought processes in the years 1922-24, when he began to search for a form capable of conveying the archetypal vision of the work that eventually became Finnegans Wake. Drawing upon a vast body of archival materials, Hayman traces Joyce's progress from exploratory notes, to a crucial group of early sketches, to his conception of the Wake's family of timeless characters.
