Hugh Kenner, for example, is an old student of mine from my pre-media days. He hasn't a clue about media and James Joyce. The same is true of his books on Yeats, Pound and Eliot. The literary Brahmins were able to cling to Joyce as far as Ulysses. Then they lost him. Meantime, Joyce had not lost touch with media developments. It was his sudden breakthrough into the electronic world that gave him access to language on a new basis.
