Like few other writers James Joyce is likely to keep his critics ‘busy for centuries arguing over what [he] meant’ (Ellmann 521). This article on Joyce studies in the twenty‐first century surveys the most significant trends in Joyce criticism – such as genetic, historicist, intertextual, and comparative approaches – that have emerged in the last decades, and it suggests which areas and aspects of Joyce scholarship will be of interest for future generations of Joyce scholars.
