ABOUT THE BOOK

 

There is no book like Ulysses, and no book about Ulysses like this one. In the years since it was published in 1922, Joyce’s masterpiece, at first banned amid cries of outrage, has emerged by common consent as the indispensable imaginative work of the century. Nothing in English since Paradise Lost has so altered our sense of man, of man’s world, and of literature itself. 

  Meanwhile all manner of ancillary works have proliferated: defenses, attacks, beginners’ guides, expositions of symbolic content, annotations, efforts to relate Ulysses to its author’s life or to the traditional novel. Mr Kenner’s book is none of these. It concentrates on the way Joyce himself teaches us to read Ulysses as he taught himself to write it: moving from the simple to the forms compatible with the world of Picasso and Einstein, but anticipating every complex proxedure with easy examples furnished early. Ulysses is a book that cannot be read, only reread, and each rereading somewhat alters our sense both of Ulysses and of the act of reading.

  Throughout, Mr Kenner emphasis the factuality on which Joyce expended such pains. He has new things to say on a wide variety of topics, including the Homeric parallels, the slow erosion of novelistic stereotype by minute information, the role of styles in the book’s latter half, the enigma of its ending.

 

Hugh Kenner’s many books include Dublin’s Joyce (1956) and Joyce’s Voices (1978). He is Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore.


Each volume in the Unwin Critical Library deals with a single work of literature. The aim of the series is to offer interpretation and information at a high level of reliability and interest.


The most illuminating book yet written about Joyce’s novel . . . no one has seen more than Kenner, or has described what he has seen with greater love and enthusiasm.

The Times Literary Supplement

 

All in all a stimulating performance, and much more than a guide for beginners.

Library Journal

 

a significant contribution to Ulysses studies at least equal in importance to the books on the subject by Ellman, Kain, Adams and Budgen.

Choice, USA


Kenner hears the book wonderfully well . . . and sees it to, often seeing down through the clamour of words to a moving, all but unrecorded scene remote and deep in the silence behind.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Asked by an artist friend whether his day-long struggle to write two sentences of Ulysses was due to his search for the mot juste, James Joyce replied, "No, I have the words already. What I am seeking is the perfect order of words in the sentence. There is an order in every way appropriate."

 

In the first book-length study of the syntax of Ulysses, Roy K. Gottfried analyzes the appropriateness―the art―in the novel's rich variety of sentence patterns. Underlying the varieties of style that the reader encounters from chapter to chapter and even from character to character, there is, the author shows, a single unifying strategy. The syntax of Ulysses is shown to be a consistent manipulation of word-order, recognizable in a variety of different applications and ranging in intensity from rigid adherence to that order to nearly asyntactic freedom. 

 

The ultimate appropriateness of Joyce's syntax lies in its relation to his novel's meaning. Making the first thorough application yet of Joyce's dualism, the author demonstrates the close relation between the syntax and the tention in the novel between order and freedom. In close analyses of sentences ranging from the most conventional in grammar and syntax to the most dislocated, he unfolds the novel's dialectic, proving that, at least for Joyce, style is substance. 

 

Roy K. Gottfried is assistant professor of English at Vanderbilt University.

NOTES

 

*ギフォードの注釈書、Ian Gunn, Clive HartによるJames Joyce's Dublin: A Topographical Guide to the Dublin of Ulyssesと合わせてダブリンの地理を理解する上で必携の書である。特筆すべきはひとつの地図に『ダブリナーズ』の各短編と『肖像』におけるイベントを合わせて書き込んでいるころである。ひとつの短編に限って登場人物の動きをたどるものは多くあるが、この点において本書は他の地理的ガイドと一線を画している。ジョイスの作品はすべてダブリンを舞台としているわけであり、間テクスト的な読みの可能性を期待させる作りとなっている。

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

This book offers a fresh interpretation of what is perhaps one of the most controversial novels of the twentieth century. Based on a careful stylistic examination of the novel, this reading will force a thorough reconsideration of current critical thinking about Joyce's work.

NOTES

 

ジョイス関連のアンソロジーが日本語で編まれることは少ないが、本書ほど包括的なものは未だないのではないだろうか。作品論はジョイスの主要作品からエッセイに至るまで網羅しており、日本における受容にも多少触れられている点で日本語文献としての強みを発揮している。1980年代にまとめられたことを意識した上で読めば、ジョイス批評への糸口として重宝するだろう。

ABOUT THE BOOK


A welcome new overview of Joyce’s work – here is the Irish writer assessed from the standpoint of the 1980s, as his stature and influence in today’s world are examined afresh by a distinguished specialist.


Through analyses that cut to the core of the Joyce canon (including the poems), the reader is introduced to the intricacies, unique style, and fundamental aspects of narrative distinguishing each of the major works. A separate chapter on Exiles, a play often relegated to a position of less importance, clearly demonstrates its true significance. Discussions of the formidable masterworks, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, are especially lucid and thorough.
 

This new study is a fully up-to-date assessment of Joyce’s work, and an important addition to Joyce criticism.

 
BERNARD BENSTOCK is past president of the James Joyce Foundation and the author and editor of several books on Joyce and other subjects, as well as a contributor to Ungar’s Encyclopedia of World Literature in the 20th Century. He is Professor of Comparative Literature and Chairman, Faculty of Foreign Languages and Comparative Literature, The University of Tulsa.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

In this major study of Ulysses, Daniel R. Schwarz not only presents a powerful and original reading of Joyce's great epic novel, but discusses it in terms of a dialogue between recent and more traditional literary theory. He takes full account of Gabler's 'Ulysses': A Critical and Synoptic Edition. Focusing on what he calls the odyssean reader, Schwarz demonstrates how the experience of reading Ulysses involves both responding to traditional plot and character as well as to the novel's stylistic experiments. Schwarz show how the novel creates a reader who must make subtle and deliberate discriminations in his odyssean journey through the novel. After three splendid general chapters which address, respectively, how Joyce's art signifies, Joyce's concept of the hero, and the role of the reader, Schwarz provides an episode-by-episode analysis.

 

Daniel R. Schwarz is Professor of English at Cornell University. He is he author of The Humanistic Heritage: Critical Theories of teh English Novel from James to Hillis Miller, Conrad: 'Almayer's Folly' to 'Under Western Eyes,' Conrad: the Later Fiction, and Disraeli's Fiction. His essays on critical theory and on Victorian and twentieth century British literature frequently appear in collections and important journals.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

With his customary wit and erudition, one of America's most celebrated and distinguished critics examines the response of literary Modernism to environmental changes caused by technology. Focusing on Eliot, Pound, Joyce, and Beckett, Hugh Kenner explores how inventions as various as the linotype, the typewriter, and the computer altered the way these writers viewed and depicted the world. 

 

"splendid exploration of the relation between the mechanization of society and the literary imagination ... Immensely readable." Washington Times Magazine

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Comments on the first edition:
"A truly useful book in its explanation of puns, jokes, foreign phrases, and a myriad of other items including many helpful glosses on terms belongings to the vernacular of Dublin. For this last item alone the book is valuable because it documents much of the popular but fading idiom of the Dublin of 1904." ―Jay Fox, Modern Fiction Studies

 

"[Ulysses Annotated] teaches more than how to read a particular novel; it teaches us more profoundly how to read anything. This, I think, is the book’s main virtue. It teaches us readers how to transform the brute fact of our world."―Robert N. Ross, Western Humanities Review

 

"A good place to look first." ―Hugh Kenner

 

Here substantially revised and expanded, Don Gifford’s annotations to Joyce’s great modern classic comprise a specialized encyclopedia that will inform any reading of Ulysses. Annotations in this edition are keyed both to the reading text of the new critical edition of Ulysses published in 1984 and to the standard 1961 Random House edition and the current Modern Library and Vintage texts. Gifford has incorporated over 1,000 additions and corrections to the first edition. The introduction and headnotes to sections provide general geographical, biographical, and historical background. The annotations gloss place names, define slang terms, give capsule histories of institutions and political and cultural movements and figures, supply bits of local and Irish legend and lore, explain religious nomenclature and practices, trace literary allusions and references to other cultures. the suggestive potential of mirror details was enormously aspect of his literary method. The annotations in this volume illuminate details which are not in the public realm for most of us.

 

Don Gifford was Emeritus Professor of English at Williams College at his death in 2000.

*ジョイスの『若き日の藝術家の肖像』とロレンスの『息子と恋人』の比較を通して、両者の「精神的肖像画」(5)を描き出している。本書は、ジョイスとロレンスが持っていた芸術家としての「矜恃」を巧みに描き出していると言っていいだろう。実人生、宗教観、芸術観、性意識、そして最後には倫理観に至るまで、ジョイスとロレンスを徹底的に比較し、論の最後ではT・S・エリオットを経由することで、20世紀初頭というモダニズム期の問題を突き止めようとしている。

*将来の妻となるノラとともにダブリンを発ちパリへ向かった1904年以来、ジョイスは様々な都市を放浪した。故郷ダブリンを常に舞台とするジョイスの作品も、そのほとんどは海外生活の中で書かれたものだ。本書はジョイスが住んだ二つの都市、トリエステとチューリッヒに著者が滞在した経験をもとに、執筆時にジョイスが住んでいた地理・環境が作品の着想に影響を与えているのではないかという、科学的に立証はできなくとも魅力的な読みをしている(それがいささかロマンチックにすぎる解釈につながっているかもしれない)。本書が単なる旅行記に収まらないのは、各小題で扱う場所をジョイス作品の読解の上で有効な項目と結びつけているところにある。しかし、細部にわたり記述された美しい都市の風景にたち現れる著者の「旅行者」としての視点には、作品と伝記的事実への深い理解はもとより「愛」が感じられ、読後には異国の旅を心から楽しんだ末に帰途についているかのような印象を受ける。

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Joyce and the Jews is the first systematic study of the identity and causes of James Joyce's association with Jews. Using biographical and historical information, as well as Joyce's texts and critical theory, the book argues that the margiality of exclusion experienced by European Jews transformed them into  a crucial analogu of Joyce's life. The book also shows taht the essential Judaism of Joyce is textual: in his Kanguage Joyce enacts the principles and texhniques of Rabbinical hermeneutics and Judaic Textuality. As Jews knew and Joyce learned, the world was their promised land, and the text their homeland.

 

Preceeding Joyce's encounter with text was his exodus from ireland which initiated which an identity with the disclocated Jew. As the book documents, it is no coincidence that Joyce's career and attitude towards text relates to his increasing affinity with Jews whose lives often merged with his own.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The sheer mass of allusion to popular literature in the writings of James Joyce is daunting. Using theories developed by Russian critic Mikhail Bakhtin, R. B. Kershner analyzes how Joyce made use of popular literature in such early works as Stephen Hero, Dubliners, A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, and Exiles. Kershner also examines Joyce's use of rhetoric, the relationship between narrator and protagonist, and the interplay of voices, whether personal, literary, or subliterary, in Joyce's writing.

 

In pointing out the prolific allusions in Joyce to newspapers, children's books, popular novels, and even pornography, Kershner shows how each of these contributes to the structures of consciousness of Joyce's various characters, all of whom write and rewrite themselves in terms of the texts they read in their youth. He also investigates the intertextual role of many popular books to which Joyce alludes in his writings and letters, or which he owned -- some well known, others now obscure.

 

Kershner presents Joyce as a writer with a high degrees of social consciousness, whose writings highlight the conflicting ideologies of the Irish bourgeoisie. In exploring the social dimension of Joyce's writing, he calls upon such important contemporary thinkers as Jameston, Althusser, Barthes, and Lacan in addition to Bakhtin. Joyce's literary response to his historical situation was not polemical, Kershner argues, but, in Bakhtin's terms, dialogical: his writings represent an unremitting dialogue with the discordant but powerful voices of his day, many inaudible to us now.

 

Joyce, Bakhtin, and Popular Literature places Joyce within the social and intellectual context of his time. Through stylistic, social, and ideological analysis, Kersner gives us a fuller grasp of the the complexity of Joyce's earlier writings.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

In a lively and provocative fashion, Peculiar Language addresses some of the most intractable problems implicit in discussions of the language of literature. In Derek Attridge's view, all attempts by writers, critics, and literary theorists to define such language have involved self-contradiction; literary language is both set in opposition to ordinary language and valued for its closeness to authentic speech. Attridge here examines key moments in the history of the debates on literary language in the light of contemporary critical and linguistic theory, particularly the writings of Jacques Derrida.

 

Attridge first explores three turning points in literary history-the Renaissance privileging of artificial literary language, the Romantic demand for a poetic language based on the language of the common people, and the early twentieth-century attempt to treat language as an object of scientific study-and then con- siders the modernist questioning of all such categorizations. Through analyses of works by George Puttenham, William Wordsworth, Ferdinand de Saussure, and -especially-James Joyce, Attridge demonstrates that contradictions in accounts of literary language are inherent in our culture's notion of "literature"; he asserts that we should look beyond the domain of the literary to the wider social and political sphere in order to appreciate the forces that determine the limits of literary language. Drawing heavily on examples from Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, Attridge questions the traditional understanding of such literary features as deviant syntax, sound-imitation, the verbal play of puns and portmanteau words, and narrative structures, and he proposes alternative approaches based in part on Derrida's deconstructive strategies.

 

A lucid introduction to the uses of deconstruction, Peculiar Language offers a vigorous challenge to those who argue that poststructuralist analysis ignores the social and political contexts of literature. It will be welcomed by readers with an interest in literary theory, and in Renaissance, Romantic, and modernist literary language.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

There is no book like Ulysses, and no book about it quite like this one. Now completely revised to correspond to the definitive new Galber edition, Hugh Kenner's ULYSSES for the first time becomes widley available in the United States.

With characteristic flair, Kenner explores the ways Joyce teaches us to read his novel as Joyce taught himself to write: moving from the simple to the complex, from the familiar to the strange and new, from the norms of the nineteenth-century novel to the open forms of modernism. Kenner offers new interpretations on a wide range of topics and details, including the Homeric parrallels, the flow of episodes and style, and the enigma of Molly's final word. Joyceans, teacher, their students, and all other readers will find cause for rejoicing in ULYSSES.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

One of the most important books ever written on Uylsses, Dublin's Joyce established Hugh Kenner as a significant modernist critic. This pathbreaking analysis presents Uylsses as a "bit of anti-matter that Joyce sent out to eat the world." The author assumes that Joyce wasn't a man with a box of mysteries, but a writer with a subject: his native European metropolis of Dublin. Dublin's Joyce provides the reader with a perspective of Joyce as a superemely important literary figure without considering him to be the revealer of a secret doctrine.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The Gabler edition of Ulysses, the greatest 20th-century novel written in English, contains corrections to more than 5,000 errors in earlier editions.

 

Almost as soon as Ulysses first appeared, in Paris in 1922, James Joyce began to compile a list of errata, and publishers have continued the process ever since, often inadvertently adding to the list. In 1974, an international team of scholars headed by Professor Hans Walter Gabler began to study manuscript evidence, typescripts, and proofs in order to produce as accurate and complete a new edition as possible. First published in 1984, the Gabler edition was hailed as a monumental achievement, one that makes this great and complex novel more accessible and enjoyable than ever before. Also included is a preface by the distinguished Joyce scholar Richard Ellmann, a foreword and note on the text by Gabler, and an afterword by Michael Groden.

 

Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin. From this starting point, James Joyce constructs a novel of extraordinary imaginative richness and depth. Unique in the history of literature, Ulysses is one of the most important and enjoyable works of the twentieth century.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

For any reader of Finnegans Wake, this brief account offers a road map to James Joyce's significant yet widely misunderstood last work, with signposts indicating where scrutiny can be rewarding—or frustrating—to the novice. After analyzing four specimens of typical Wake prose to introduce the subject, McHugh develops an autobiographical account of his solitary three-year progress through the book and then through other people's experiences of it in critical studies and discussions. He surveys for the layman the forbid- ding region of Joyce's manuscripts and notebooks, and finally, having tested his apprehension that one must live in Dublin to appreciate the book fully, he assesses the advantages of such exposure to the Finnegans Wake environment.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The winding streets of Leopold Bloom's Dublin have always challenged the reader's orientation. Heavy critical traffic has often made matters worse: a surprising number of scholarly guidebooks can lead one astray with demonstrably incorrect readings. In Bloomers on the Liffey, Paul van Caspel sets off "to follow some of the routes mapped out by those guides and to put up warnings of [his] own at dangerous crossroads," perhaps even "to uproot a misleading signpost or two."

 

Van Caspel examines the ways in which various annotations, summaries, translations, and critical studies misapprehend key passages of Ulysses. Many elaborate explications, he finds, are founded on factual errors, irrelevant associations, and inaccurate or "selective" quotations, all of which deviate from "what actually happens" and result in misdirected exegesis.

 

Bloomers on the Liffey provides an episode-by-episode eisegesis—taking the reader back into Joyce's work. Van Caspel compares distorted readings to the text itself, not to add to the mass of interpretation but to clear the way for more accurate appreciation. Throughout, he quotes the definitive new Gabler edition, with references to both Gabler and the 1961 Random House edition.

 

Readers encountering Ulysses for the first time will find skillful assistance through the inevitable textual pitfalls and interpretive difficulties. More experienced Joyceans will relish the even-handed but pointed reappraisals of enduring controversies.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Marking the centenary of the birth of James Joyce, the publication of The Seventh of Joyce brings together some of the finest and most provocative work presented at the Seventh International James Joyce Symposium in Zurich, Switzerland. Both well-known and younger scholars offer new perspectives on Joyce, who is possibly the most influential and certainly the most revolutionary modern novelist. Several contributors come to the study of Joyce from other literary bailiwicks or disciplines. The opening chapters consider Joyce in the light of recent narrative theory. Three subsequent sections explore his relationship to two other important twentieth-century writers, Beckett and Faulkner, and examine his debt to Freudian psychology—a debt that Joyce was loath to acknowledge. Dubliners, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake each have a section de- voted to them. The book concludes with discussions of three general topic areas: Joyce and science, Joyce and Judaism, and Joyce and sex. The thirty-four contributors include Morris Beja, Bernard Benstock, André Bleikasten, Alan J. Friedman, Ihab Hassan, J. Hillis Miller, and François Pitavy. Charting new direc- tions in Joycean studies, this collection of essays will appeal to all readers of modern literature as well as to Joyce aficionados.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

In James Joyce's early work, as in Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, meanings are often concealed in obscure allusions and details of veiled suggestive power. Consistent recognition of these hidden significances in Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man would require an encyclopedic knowledge of life in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Dublin such as few readers possess. Now this substantially revised and expanded edition of Don Gifford's Notes to Joyce: "Dubliners" and "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" puts the requisite knowledge at the disposal of scholars, students, and general readers.

 

An ample introductory essay supplies the historical, biographical, and geographical background for Dubliners and Portrait. The annotations that follow gloss place names, define slang terms, recount relevant gossip, give capsule histories of institutions and political and cultural movements and figures, supply bits of local and Irish legend and lore, explain religious nomenclature and practices, and illuminate cryptic allusions to literature, theology, philosophy, science and the arts.

 

Professor Gifford's labors in gathering these data into a single volume have resulted in an invaluable source-book for all students of Joyce's art.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Mary Reynolds studies the rhetorical and linguistic maneuvers by which Joyce related his work to Dante's and shows how Joyce created in his own fiction a Dantean allegory of art. Dr. Reynolds argues that Joyce read Dante as a poet rather than as a Catholic; that Joyce was interested in Dante's criticism of society and, above all, in his great powers of innovation. Originally published in 1981. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

In the 1940s, when Vladimir Nabokov first embarked on his academic career in the United States, he brought with him hundreds of original lectures on the authors he most admired. For two decades those lectures served as the basis for Nabokov’s teaching, first at Wellesley and then at Cornell, as he introduced undergraduates to the delights of great fiction.

This volume collects Nabokov’s famous lectures on Western European literature, with analysis and commentary on Charles Dickens’s Bleak House, Gustav Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, Marcel Proust’s The Walk by Swann’s Place, Robert Louis Stevenson’s “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” and other works.

Edited and with a Foreword by Fredson Bowers.

ABOUT THE BOOK

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Published in 1914 after ten years of argument with publishers over "obscenities," James Joyce's Dubliners is a unified collection of fifteen stories noted for their detached, impar- tial narration, authentic settings, and epiphanies. They are also, in Joyce's words, a "chapter in the moral history of my country," where Dublin is the "centre of paralysis" and each of its protagonists paralyzed by Irish culture. The epiphanies that end the stories visit upon the protagonists the nature of their paralysis. In "Eveline," Eveline Hill panics before the prospect of escaping with her sailor lover. In "A Painful Case," Mr. Duffy, an "outcast from life's feast," reckons the cost of his isolation when haunted by the spirit of Mrs. Sinico, the woman he rejected. The most complex story, "The Dead," concludes with Gabriel Conroy's vision of a frozen Ireland: "His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead."

 

In this collection of critical essays, Joyce's stories are treated to divergent readings by, among others, Hugh Kenner, Mary T. Reynolds, Fritz Senn, Thomas P. O'Grady, and Margot Norris. These offerings and others reflect how current critics address Dubliners in the effort to become Joyce's contemporaries.

 

James Joyce's Dubliners is one of over 100 volumes in the Modern Critical Interpretations series, edited and introduced by Harold Bloom and published by Chelsea House. Taken together, these volumes represent a comprehensive collection of the best current criticism of the most widely read poems, novels, stories, and dramas of the Western world.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

If the aim of criticism is, in Arnold's phrase, 'to see the object as in itself it really is', what 'is' Hamlet, when every age has seen the play quite differently? Despite certain notable accounts, there is no single reading that seems to have interpreted the play for our time. This book approaches the play through its influence on the work of some writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Separate chapters show their different responses to Hamlet either as an object of their direct criticism or as a source of myth, symbol, mask and allusion in their own creative works. The aspects of Hamlet that preoccupy the different writers are reflected in their literature. They provide a new perspective in which to see the writers themselves, and contribute to the author's own critical reading of Hamlet in Part II.
