Professor sues James Joyce's estate

A professor is suing James Joyce’s estate for refusing to give her permission to use copyrighted material about the Ulysses author and his daughter on her scholarly website.

In the lawsuit filed in San Francisco’s federal court, Carol Shloss, an acting English professor and Joycean scholar at Stanford University, challenged the estate’s assertion that she would be infringing on its ownership of Joyce’s image by quoting his published works, manuscripts and private letters on her site.
