Katherine Mullin’s piece on Joyce through the Little Magazines has given me a renewed perspective on how context can affect the reading of texts. When reading our 4^th or 5^th edition books, it is easy to forget the social and physical context into which works were published, but Mullin’s discussion of the Egoist and Little Review meaningfully grounds the work. I’d be particularly interested in seeing some of the “interactive” ads and columns from some of the little magazine’s readers, in order to peruse their responses to Joyce and the opinion pieces within the piece. Personally, I believe that both the magazine’s and Joyce’s place within either high or low modernism would be clarified by identifying the language, opinions, and identity of the magazines’ readership. Considering these magazines small audiences, one opinion or response wouldn’t be completely indicative of the magazines readership, but taken holistically some general conclusions about their class or education could be ascertained. Who was Joyce writing for? He enjoyed popularity among the publishers, but how did his primary audience initially respond to his text, which as Mullin pointed out, subtly fit into the different magazines’ stated agendas?
