The Analyst was a periodical published in the 1950s and 1960s by
the Department of English of Northwestern University, under the
editorship of Robert Mayo. During its lifetime, it published articles
dealing with Ezra Pound (exclusively The Cantos) and James Joyce
(primarily Finnegans Wake).
Possibly due to its low-key appearance (its issues were mimeographed
and left-hand-corner stapled), its small distribution (starting off as
a departmental publication), its unassuming name (more appropriate for
a department of chemistry), and its early-birdness (being the first
periodical to devote whole issues to Finnegans Wake, years
before the publication of A Wake Newslitter and
James Joyce Quarterly), it has been all but forgotten. It is
rarely mentioned in bibliographies (Thomas F. Staley's An Annotated
Critical Bibliography of James Joyce being one exception, if an
error-riddled one) and I have found it impossible to locate any source,
paper- or web-based, that lists all the articles that have appeared
between each issue's non-existent covers.
After years of searching, I have been able to lay my paws on a set of
twenty-five issues of The Analyst, apparently almost all that
was ever published. As kindly reported to me by Edward Burns, the final
number of The Analyst was issue XXVI, which I am still looking
for. As an aid to future generations who may wonder about the contents
of these issues, I have laid out this page, which lists all the
articles in all the issues of The Analyst I know of. The issues
devoted to Ezra Pound (12 issues) appear in black, the ones devoted to
James Joyce (14 issues) appear in red.
