Abstract

This essay discusses the portrayal of the dog named Garryowen and mongrel in Irish modernity. It says that James W. Redfield's book "Comparative Physiognomy or Resemblances Between Man and Animals," wherein Redfield offers a comparison of Irish people to dogs in respect to snarling, howling, and barking. It also states that James Joyce's "Ulysses," opposes some of what it describes as outrageous and odder claims of Redfield. It states that Joyce portrayed the mongrel Garryowen as dyspeptic.
