I need to research themes of epiphanic realisation, time, and memory, but all guides analyse other themes instead.

Are there any sites that could help?

    Epiphanic realisation as it pertains to James Joyce is not what you might expect. Joyce was attempting to transform the word to really mean secular epiphany. He took epiphany revelations away from the mystics, and set them in ordinary society. This makes Dedalus' realizations more relevant to the reader.
