Summary
The chapter takes this Kleinian framework and uses it to read the texts and theological practices of Loyola and the Jesuit order. It illuminates the ways Loyola’s problems of reading, belief, and paranoia would have come to Joyce – more than a simple matter of ‘influence’, as most studies of religion and Joyce would have it, but as an implicit, peculiar set of problems Joyce would adapt and employ in his own work.
