In his comprehensive study of love in James Joyce's writings, DeVault shows that Joyce frequently ties his characters' personal and political pursuits to their ability to affirm both their loved ones and their fellow Dubliners. For Joyce, love for others need not compromise one's personal desires, but rather offers the possibility of a broader social compassion that creates a more progressive body politic.
Bertha Shelley by Aubrey Burnage is about a young Hubert Clayton lurking in the back alleys and plotting with friends at the bars about his planned revenge against Sir John Greville for stealing his girl away. Excerpt: "IT was night. No moon nor stars shed their pale beams upon the silent streets of York; and that grand old city of a thousand memories lay in placid slumber, wrapped in a mantle of thick darkness,—save here and there in some of her narrow back alleys, where taverns of questionable respectability still drove a stealthy trade in the "cup that maddens" with the abandoned wretches at their gaming tables."
