"Duff's book James Joyce and the Plain Reader (1932) is an introduction James Joyce's major works that seeks to guide "the plain reader" through the author's oeuvre. [5] Duff both situates Joyce within a long literary tradition and emphasises his originality. [6] In describing Joyce, Duff draws on ethnic stereotypes, describing Irish people as motivated by "a restless and often fantastic imagination". [7] Joyce himself owned a copy of Duff's book, [7] and the literary scholar Jean-Michel Rabaté argues that, when Joyce came to complete Finnegans Wake (1939) , he was pleased with Duff's book and incorporated elements of Duff's thought into his work, including the vindication of the rights of the "plain reader."
