A. Nicholas Fargnoli and Michael Patrick Gillespie contend that the play deserves the same serious study as Joyce's fiction and stands on the cutting edge of modern drama.</p><p>Their introduction situates <i>Exiles</i> in the context of Irish history and Joyce's other works, highlighting its often-overlooked complexity. The text of the play is newly annotated and unregularized, appearing as Joyce originally intended. Containing a variety of critical responses to the text, including an interview with a recent director of the play, this edition establishes <i>Exiles</i> as an important component of Joyce's canon.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Fargnoli and Gillespie have gifted us what should become the standard text of Exiles.
