ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The French Joyce, the first book to trace the French critical reception to James Joyce's work, is a major contribution to Joyce scholarship as well as an important historical review of the French intellectual climate from the sixties to present.

 

Serious French interest in the Irish writer coincided with the rise of poststructuralism, and Lernout pays particular attention to Joycean criticism by Lacan, Derrida, and Cixous, who have provided the basis for psychoanalytical, philosophical, and feminist readings. The French university critics who took Derrida's and Lacan's work as their point of departure are examined, as well as the Tel Quel and Change writers. The author also looks at the effects of French theory on the study of Joyce by American, English, and Irish critics.

 

The author provides a provocative critique of poststructuralist readings, arguing that such readings are in fact romantic and idealistic, and examines the particularly French climate in which this type of theory could develop and flourish. The French Joyce is essential reading for Joyceans as well as those interested in the historical development of French-born literary theories. It will appeal to students of critical theory and postwar intellectual history.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

This powerful and unusual study examines the relations between the textual organization of Ulysses and the notions of time, language, and poetics implicit in the novel. Making use of recent developments in philosophy and liteary theory, Udaya Kumar takes issue with those who, like Richard Ellmann, see Ulysses as a fully coherent text. Instead, he argues that the novel is a complex transitional text involving various degrees of mediation between opposing impulses such as naturalism and schematism, unification and detotalization.

   The book begins with an examination of the pervasive use of repetition in Ulysses and shows that this results in a disruption of linear time and creats a 'textual memory'. This argument is further developed in relation to the question of time and the sign, where Ulysses is shown to display a differentiated and heterogeneous temporal experience. Finally, examining Joyce's early aesthetic theories, Udaya Kumar argues that Ulysses implies a radical notion of tradition as the site of difference and of the work of art as the reperformance of elements from tradition. The concluding chapter clarifies this idea in relation to other strands in modernism and postmodernism.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Linking modernist literature with more recent developments in literary theory, Jean-Micahel Rabate's writings on James Joyce have atrracted widespread critical acclaim. Praised by Derrida and others, Rabate's work combines psychoanalytical notions (adopted from Lacan) with more traditional philosophical approaches (Joyce seen in connection with Hegel and Vico, for instance).
Examining Joyce's texts from Dubliners to Finnegans Wake, Rabate traces a number of interconnected issues and relates them to Joyce's own reading and manuscripts sources as well as to recent theoretical discussions. Among these issues are the function of the reader; the role of "perversity" (as opposed to "perversion"); the operation of what Rabate calls "the unconscious of the text"; the uncertainties of authority; the role of family relations in Jouce; and the connections between the idiosyncracies of Joyce's language and questions of idiolect, idiom, and ideology.
"Rabate writes with grace and wit, and his intimate accuaintance with French theoretical discussions informs his thinking at every point without ever becoiming overberaring; it is always Joyce and Joyce's words that hold the center of attention. He also writes  with a grasp  of Joyce scholorship and extends it un several directions. Joyce emerges as a thoroughly European writer, participating in  a culture that goes well beyond the bounds of the English language." Derek Attridge, Rutgers University

言説、セクシュアリティ、政治

真理とは、闘争である。20世紀最大の文学的天才が生み出した〈言語=欲望=力〉のテクストの謎に肉迫する、批評の戦い。知的興奮にあふれる、衝撃的なジョイス論の登場!

 

ジェイムズ・ジョイス――20世紀文学でもっとも偉大な変革者。だが、彼のもたらした〈言語革命〉の射程は究められたと言えるだろうか? 優れたジョイス研究者であると同時に、先鋭的な映画理論誌『スクリーン』の中心メンバーのひとりとして、シャープなゴダール論の書き手でもあるコリン・マッケイブは、斬新な視野から、今日ジョイスを読むことの可能性を追求する。構造主義/ポスト構造主義の成果を踏まえ、当時のアイルランドの政治状況を見据えつつ、自己同一性に還元されぬ〈複数の主体〉への果敢なアプローチを試み続けた“政治的ジョイス像”を鮮やかに浮き上がらせる。――いま、改めてジョイスに向かい合うべき時が来ている。

ABOUT THE BOOKS

 

This ground-breaking collection of essays combines the efforts of twelve contributors to explore previously uncharted paths in the literary relationship between James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, two of the foremost writers of the twentieth century. Eleven essays, written by scholars from Canada, England, the United States, and New Zealand, throw new light on the biographies, texts, techniques, and artistic consciousness of Joyce and Beckett as well as on fundamental questions of literary authority and influence. In addition, the volume contains the first working bibliography devoted exclusively to the Joyce-Beckett relationship. The collection culminates with an original one-act play that celebrates both writers in, with, and through the language that they each explored so profoundly.

 

The eleven essays provide a number of avenues for discussing the literary relationship between Joyce and Beckett: Melvin Friedman assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the Joyce and Beckett biographies by Richard Ellmann and Deidra Bair. John Fletcher and John P. Harrington provide complementary studies of two of Beckett’s early short stories in relation to their possible “counterparts” in Dubliners. James Acheson and David Cohen both draw on Ulysses and various works by Beckett to focus attention on links and divergencies between the two writers in their uses of allusions. Analyzing fictional techniques, Michael Patrick Gillespie foregrounds the impulse for gaming that Joyce and Beckett both employ as a narrative strategy. Alan Loxterman explores the techniques both writers use to raise Phyllis Carey provide complementary reading of artistic consciousness, Brienza drawing attention to bodily fluids and elimination as images of creation, and Carey focusing on the divergent debts of both writers to Dante. Finally, Steven Connor and Ed Jewinski attack the problems od “authority” and “influence,” respectively, in the process illuminating differences in modernist and postmodernist understandings of theses concepts.

 

A bibliography of well over one hundred entries, compiled by John P. Harrington, lists the most substantive discussions of the Joyce Beckett relationship Denis Regan’s one-act play, Beckett relationship. Denis Regan’s one act play, Becket et Joyce et Beckettesque, creates a medley od Beckett and Joyce echoes through imaginative dialogues in the afterlife mind of Samuel Beckett. Although the volume was in progress when Samuel Beckett died in December 1989, it now serves as a memorial and a tribute to both Samuel Beckett and James Joyce.

 

PHYLLIS CAREY is Associate Professor of English at Mount Mary College, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She has published on Joyce and Beckett in the James Joyce Quarterly, has delivered papers on Joyce-Beckett panels in Frankfurt and Milwaukee, and has published several essays on Beckett. She is currently co-editing a collection of essays on Seamus Heaney and working on a book-length study of Beckett and Vaclav Havel.

 

ED Jewenski is Associate Professor of English at Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The Language of James Joyce offers the First comprehensive survey of Joyce's language since Anthony Burgess's Joysprick in 1973, and offers an up-to-date approach in the light of recent work in stylistics, feminist theory and Bkhtinian theory of the novel. It also attempts to place Joyce's work very clearly in the Anglo-Irish tradition, and offers a detailed chapter therefore on Joyce's use of Hiberno-English. The book is written specifically for undergraduate student s and general readers interested in Joyce who may lack a linguistic background. None the less the book aims to show that no student Joyce can afford to ignore such an important dimension of his writing.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

This ground-breaking book examines the work of James Joyce as a response to Irish and European history. Fairhall situates Joyce in his historical moment and explores Joyce's attitudes towards colonialism, nationalism, World War I, gender, and class. Although the book draws on a wide range of critical theories, it is clearly written and is accessible to any reader interested in the relation between Joyce's works and history.

 

'An exemplary analysis ... No reader of Joyce could fail to benefit from this discussion.'

Irish Studies Review

 

'An excellent book. To the vexed question of the political dimensions of Joyce's writings it brings an awareness of the complexity of the relation between literary texts and historical contexts, while at the same time providing historical material that will enrich readings of his works.'

Derek Attridge

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

“A vital collection that skillfully combines analysis of the art of Joyce and the ideas of Freud with the exciting new insights of cultural criticism. The quality of the essay is extraordinarily high, and this synthesis of Freud and social issues suits the latest trends in a powerful way.”

Did James Joyce, that icon of modernity, spearhead the dismantling of the Cartesian subject? Or was he a supreme example of a modern man forever divided and never fully known to himself? 

     This volume reads the dialogue of contradictory cultural voices in Joyce's works – revolutionary and reactionary, critical and subject to critique, marginal and central. It includes ten essays – all but two of them published here for the first time – that identify repressed elements in Joyce's writings and examine how psychic and cultural repressions persistently surface in his texts. Individual chapters explore interconnections among the psychic and the political, the textual and the historical, theerotic and the linguistic in Stephen Hero, Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and FinnegansWake. Adapting divergent methodologies, the essays employ interpretive strategies drawn from psychoanalytic criticism, feminist criticism, new historicism, deconstruction, narrative theory, Marxism, and cultural studies.

     The first collection of psychoanalytically oriented essays devoted entirely to Joyce, this book will be invaluable for students and scholars of literary theory, psychoanalytic and feminist criticism, and cultural studies, and others with an interest in literary modernism and Irish literature.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

"We must understand the controversy that enveloped Ulysses during the 1920s and 1930s as a demonstration of both its real and its symbolic powers of provocation. Readers praised or denounced it for what it was (as much as they could construe this) as well as for what it represented (often determined without the benefit—or burden—of having read it). It was difficult to separate Ulysses from the aura of notoriety surrounding it, a task made more difficult by the novel's obscurity (particularly in the years before the publication of Stuart Gilbert's James Joyce's "Ulysses" in 1930) and by its unavailability. American readers in particular often viewed Ulysses as symptomatic of a host of social, cultural, and political changes they deplored. Judgments for or against Ulysses frequently reflected a critic's own hope or anxiety over an age in which, as Marx had prophesied, all that was solid seemed to be melting into air. Ulysses became a cultural nexus over which critics with opposed ideological perspectives did battle."

 In America, allegations that Ulysses was both obscene and blasphemous heightened interest in it and created controversy even before it was permitted to be published in 1933. Moralists and ideologues from various quarters found in Ulysses an amorphous but still attractive target for their suspicions and outrage. Three issues of the Little Review , which serialized Ulysses from 1918 to 1920, were seized and banned by the U.S. Post Office, and in September, 1920, the New York Society for the Prevention of Vice lodged an official complaint against its editors, Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap. In February of 1921, Heap and Anderson were convicted of publishing obscenity, fined fifty dollars, and prohibited from publishing additional chapters from Ulysses . It was not until Judge John M. Woolsey's historic decision lifting the ban on Ulysses on December 6, 1933 (upheld by the District Court of Appeals on August 8, 1934) that Ulysses could be legally published and sold in America "(Introduction, ii-iii)

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

「本書は、有名な作家と、その存在を世に知られることのなかった弟の関係を見事に描いている。……私はこの本を二回読んだ……兄の回想というテーマにとりつかれたスタニスロースは、肌に刺さった刺に苛立ちながらも、彼自身作家となり、兄の作品と並んで書架に永遠の座を占める本の著者となった」(T.S. エリオット)

 スタニはつねに兄の間近にいて行動を共にし、ジェイムズの言動を注視した、余人には不可能な弟の視点から、彼は兄の宗教観の推移やアル中の父親への愛情、家族関係、読書・創作歴、イェイツ等との交友関係、さらに性生活までをも詳細に語り、独自の見解を述べている。とりわけ『ダブリンの人びと』や『若き芸術家の肖像』の成立背景を明らかにしている本書は、作家の幼少期から大陸に移り住むまでのダブリン時代を扱ったユニークな回想録であると同時に、この天才の文学理解に欠かせぬ基本的文献となっている。T.S.エリオットの序文とリチャード・エルマンの序論を一読すれば、本書の価値は一目瞭然である。

ジョイスの傑作『ユリシーズ』全18章の言葉と物語を読む
出版後70年、つねに話題作であり続けた『ユリシーズ』。しかしわれわれはこの世紀の問題作について、その物語性、そのテクスト性について、どれだけのことを知っているだろうか。著者は長年の『ユリシーズ』との付き合いに基づいて、華麗に変容するジョイスの言葉たちがつぎつぎに豊かな物語を紡いでいくありさまを、その基本から語る。

 

著者の「あとがき」から
もちろんこの作品(『ユリシーズ』)についてはこちたき議論が世に溢れている。優れた研究所も少なくない。しかし、これがいかに面白い、物語性とテクスト性に溢れ、習慣性の毒をいかに多量に含むものであるかを、きちんと基本から語った本はない。作品のあちこちを拾い読みするだけで、生かじりの最新の文学理論をつきあわせ、『ユリシーズ』は「アンリーダブル」であるなどとまことしやかな説を吹聴するのではなく、まず物語の面白さ、そこに使われている言葉の豊かさを語ること、これが本書の狙いであった。

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

In the years between 1914 and 1921, as Joyce was composing Ulysses, Ireland became the first colony of the British Empire to gain its independence in this century after a violent anticolonial war. Duffy juxtaposes Ulysses against documents and photographs from the archives of both empire and insurgency, as well as against recent postcolonial literary texts, in order to analyze the political unconscious of subversive strategies, including twists on class and gender, that render patriarchal colonialist culture unfamiliar. 

     Ulysses, Duffy argues, is actually a guerrilla text, and he demonstrates how Joyce's novel pinpoints colonial regimes of surveillance, mocks imperial stereotypes of the "native," exposes nationalism and other chauvinisitic ideologies of "imagined community" as throwbacks to the colonial ethos, and proposes versions of a postcolonial subject. A significant intervention in the massive "Joyce industry" founded on the rhetoric and aesthetics of high modernism, Duffy's insights show us both Ulysses and the origins of postcolonial textuality in a startling new way.

NOTES

 

90年代に多く出版されたポストコロニアル批評のひとつである本書は、『ユリシーズ』が執筆されていたまさにその時にアイルランドで頻発していた武装蜂起とテクストの関係を明らかにする。『ユリシーズ』は1904年のある一日を描いているが、その10年後~15年後にジョイスによって遡及的に書かれた。1904年時点では1916年のイースター蜂起に代表される激しい武装蜂起は起きていないが、それらの出来事はうっすらと影のようにテクストをつきまっており、その影響を無視することはできないとダフィは主張する。各章の冒頭で内戦に関わる史料などを掲載し、その強烈なイメージに引きつけるようにして議論を展開していくのはダフィの書き方の大きな特徴であるが、そこにジョイスを政治の土台へと引き入れようとする気概が感じられる。批評用語が解説もなく使われている点、難解ではあるが、『ユリシーズ』執筆時の現実世界のダブリンとジョイスのフィクションのダブリンを並置する視点はジョイスに政治を読み込む際には欠かせないものだろう。(H)

ABOUT THE BOOK 

 

About this volume
This edition of Joyce’s classic short story from Dubliners presents the 1969 Viking critical edition, prepared by Robert Scholes, along with five critical essays – newly commissioned or revised for a student audience – that read The Dead from five contemporary critical perspectives:

 

 Psychoanalytic Criticism by Daniel R. Schwarz
 Reader-Response Criticism by Peter J. Rabinowitz
 The New Historicism by Michael Levenson
 Feminist Criticism by Margot Norris
 Deconstruction by Jean Paul Riquelme

 

Each critical essay is accompanied by a succinct introduction to the history, principles, and practice of the critical perspective, and by a bibliography that promotes further exploration of that approach.


In addition, the text and essays are complemented by an introduction providing biographical and historical contexts to Joyce and The Dead, a survey of critical responses to the novel since its initial publication, and a glossary of critical and theoretical terms.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Joyce’s relationship to Ireland and Ireland’s relationship to Joyce are intricate issues that have been too often simplified into ready-made oppositions. Emer Nolan exposes the congealed form of these oppositions and shows how they have begun to dissolve in contemporary circumstances. The politics of nationalism and the aesthetics of modernism are re-examined in relation to Joyce’s text to produce a critique of the distinction between a ‘metropolitan’ and a ‘provincial’ Joyce as an explanation for the conflictual elements in his work.

The book asks how the Joyce we read now has been constituted by modernism and how modernism itself has been in part constituted by its appropriation of Joyce. Equally, it asks us to reconsider the avowed hostility of Joyce’s writings to Irish nationalism and the new bearings of his work revealed by post-structuralist and feminist theory.

James Joyce and Nationalism is a timely and groundbreaking work, and an invaluable contribution to Joyce studies.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

"A particularly rich deconstructive reading of Joyce's texts as well as, by implication, a telling critique of those who 'authorize' and represent Joyce within the 'academic institution'."--Bryan Cheyette, Times Literary Supplement

 

"Mahaffey's most impressive argument is linking language and clothing (the word 'text' derives from texere, meaning 'to weave').  She demonstrates how language functions like material woven of likenesses and differences by analyzing several patterns of weaving in Joyce's work. . . .  Language, the clothing of thought, and clothing, the language of flesh, represent two modes of authority, two processes of reading the world.Reauthorizing Joyce artfully demonstrates how Joyce educates the reader to recognize the interrelationship of these two authorities."--Robert D. Newman, South Atlantic Review

 

"A welcome study written by an engaging mind.  Most Joyceans, especially those who are responsive to post-structuralist and feminist ideas, will read it with great interest and return to it often."--Charles Rossman, James Joyce Quarterly

 

"Mahaffey makes her way from Dubliners to the Wake, showing not only Joyce-the-Mastermind but also Joyce the Weaver of textile and text-styles."--Carol Shloss, Modern Fiction Studies

 

Vicki Mahaffey argues that for James Joyce, language is the most important link between the unconscious and the socio-historical.  It serves as a precise link beween the psychological and the political, between the individual and the communal, between the future and the past.  Quoting Finnegans Wake, Mahaffey describes language as a bag full of "presents."

 

 This first paperback edition of Reauthorizing Joyce suggests that the reader's role in relation to Joyce's novels is more active and significant than is usually the case.  "Reading Joyce goes beyond entertainment into 'hands on' instruction about how to perceive and process language more productively, enjoyably, and responsibly.  Joyce provides readers with novels that are workshops in interpretive responsibility and sensual perceptiveness."

 

Language, according to Mahaffey, is the real hero of Joyce's work.  This study shows how language functions in Joyce as an index to unconscious desires and as a record of how people have responded to the sensual aspects of language through time.

 

About the Author

 

Vicki Mahaffey is associate professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania.  She has written numerous book chapters and articles, many on James Joyce, for journals such as Critical Inquiry  and James Joyce Quarterly.

90's以後のポストコロニアル批評のあり方を決定づけた一冊。サイードのオリエンタリズム、バーバのミミック理論、アンダーソンの想像の共同体論、グラムシのヘゲモニー論などを援用しながら、ジョイスの全作品を網羅的にポスト・コロニアリズムの観点から分析している。Chengの狙いは一言で言えば、ジョイス論を「美学」から「政治」へと、すなわち「モダニズム」から「ポスト・コロニアリズム」へと転換させることである。とりわけ優れていると思うのが、これまであまり注目されてこなかったジョイスのエッセイや講演から(The Critical Writings of James Joyce)、ジョイスの政治性を抜き出していることだろう。

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Arguably the greatest of the modernist writers, James Joyce was a comic genius, a formal innovator and an unsentimental poet of Irish life and language. Explored in his work are such characteristically modern themes as the nature of art, the social responsibility of the artist, the relation of the individual to social institutions, and the meaning of human life itself. In his fiction Joyce pioneered the inner monologue and stream-of-consciousness techniques, and made brilliant use of such devises as parody and pastiche. Through these he transformed the mundane details of daily life into an illuminating commentary on the larger culture.


Meant to be used and consulted while reading Joyce’s work, James Joyce A to Z is written primarily for the reader first encountering Joyce, but will  be of great use even to scholars. In a clear, concise, and accessible fashion, this book supplies the basic cultural, historical, biographical, and critical information necessary for the appreciation and enjoyment of Joyce’s writings. Indeed, James Joyce A to Z is a user-friendly companion to the man who may well be the most read, studied, and taught of all modern writers.

This essential guide includes:

・Over 800 entries, including detailed synopses and publishing histories of all his works
・Descriptions of major characters, terms, concepts, and places in Joyce’s fiction
・Detailed chronology of his writings
・Profiles of Joyce, his family, immediate circle of friends and colleagues, peers and contempolaries
・Discussions of Joyce’s intellectual and literary influences
・A working outline of Finnegans Wake and Ulysses schema
・Accounts of the censorship battles and legal travails of Dubliners and Ulysses, and the full text of Judge John M. Woolsey’s decisions to lift the ban on Ulysses
・Extensive bibliography and list of periodicals devoted to Joyce
・Numerous illustrations

“Browsers will find previously unknown material, as well as new light on what they have already grasped.”
Times Literary Supplement

“[A] must-have encyclopedia for Joyce lovers on the run.”
Literature in Transition

“This work’s breadth, detail, and judicious observation make it a unique resource for scholars and students alike.”

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

What did James Joyce think about history? He boasted that Dublin could be rebuilt from the pages of his novels, yet Joyce stopped writing essays and reviews at an age when many authors are just beginning to express themselves on important extra-literary topics – and the Joyce that emerges in biographies and memoirs is notoriously unreliable about history and politics.

 

In Joyce and the Subject of History, some of the brightest stars in Joyce criticism attempt to tease out the historical implications embedded in Joyce's oeuvre without conceding too much to the comprehensive historical claims of the fictions themselves. At a time when much historical work remains surprisingly under-theorized and much theoretical work excludes the detail and rigor of serious historical research, this collection attempts to bridge the gap between history and theory, to reconceive the field of literary historical scholarship as a whole. As an added resource, the book concludes with Robert Spoo's extensive annotated bibliography of historical work on Joyce. 

 

Despite incorporating shared assumptions and common goals, this collection was not designed to issue in consensus. "Joyce and history" remains, inevitably, an open subject, and the essays in this volume give an idea of just how open that subject is.

Historical scholars of Joyce for years to come will look first to Joyce and the Subject of History. The collection will also appeal to those interested in modernism, twentieth-century literature, Irish studies, or historical models of literary study in general.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

"Magical. The satisfying mood that this book creates, and sustains with near-total consistency throughout, carries the narrative flow as jocoseriously as Bell credits Joyce with doing in Ulysses. This is original, incisive, and enlightening criticism, a fresh approach to Ulysses that analyzes the levels and depths of its humor in a language that is consciously witty."―Bernard Benstock

 

"Bell joins the very thin ranks . . . of those critics who can both capture the humor of Ulysses and communicate its often serious function within the narrative. In the process, he offers new insight into many familiar characters and episodes."--Morton P. Levitt, Journal of Modern Literature

 

"[Bell's] witty and lucid prose is a pleasure to read, . . . [written] persuasively and fluently."--Austin Briggs, Modern Language Quarterly

 

"Finally, someone has sanctioned our fun. . . . This book is chockablock with information, references, discoveries, and insights."--Marilyn Reizbaum, James Joyce Literary Supplement

 

"Students of Ulysses will find Robert H. Bell to be a deft dissector in demonstrating his case for Buck Mulligan as 'a brilliant clown in the Shakespearean tradition,' in proving Bloom 'a holy fool,' and in making Molly a sublimely ridiculous figure whose contradictions 'represent the ultimate ascent of folly.' . . . Professor Bell shows his good sense by quoting at one juncture from the late Jimmy Durante. This is an intricate but humane treatise on 'folly' in Ulysses which finds the three major personae 'richly consistent' and the sources of their selfhood 'surprisingly familiar and traditional.'"--C. J. Fox, Times Literary Supplement

 

From the foreword to the paperback edition:

"Part of the original design of Florida's James Joyce Series was to keep a few of the landmark Joyce studies in print and accessible to the growing audience for Joyce scholarship. Jocoserious Joyce is one of these: an informative and entertaining treatment of the dual nature of Joyce's comedy in Ulysses. . . . The embellishments of Bell's arguments, consisting often of a number of examples for a given point, regularly put new and delightful twists on passages that have never been examined under a comic lens. We are delighted to include in our list this lasting contribution to Joyce studies."--Zack Bowen, Series Editor

 

Robert H. Bell is William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of English at Williams College. He has written widely for academic journals as well as for newspapers and popular magazines.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Since 1966 readers nerw to James Joyce have depended upon this essential guide to Ulysses. Harry Blamires helps readers to negotiate their way through this formidable, remarkable novel and gain an understanding of it which, without help, it might have taken several readings to achieve.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

“This book remains an eminently lucid and systematic exposition of the essential structure of one of the most complex and influential prose works of the century. It belongs in every library that has Finnegans Wake.” –Library Journal

 

For years, William York Tindall’s guide has been one of the very best ways to approach the difficult writing and complex language of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake. Over a period of forty years, Tindall studied, instructed, and most importantly, learned from graduate students about Joyce’s greatest literary masterpiece.

  He explores and analyzes Joyce’s unexpected depths and vast collection of puns, allusions, and word plays involving more than a dozen languages, thereby breaking down the formidable barriers that can discourage readers from enjoying the humor and brilliance of Joyce.

 

William York Tindall was professor of English at Columbia University and the auther of numerous works on Joyce and British literature, including the Reader’s Guide to James Joyce, also published by Syracuse University Press. 

 

NOTES 

 

Finnegans Wakeを「読む」ための本は数多くあるが、Campbellの Skeleton Key (1949) に加えて、非常に早く(1969年)その全体像を伝えたのはTindallである。各章ごとのおおまかな内容と註が付いているため、まずはこの本でおおまかな全体像を掴むのがよいだろう。FWを読む際には常に机に置いておきたい本である。

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

This volume collects the best essays from the 1992 International James Joyce Symposium held in Dublin, which had as its title “In the Heart of Hibernian Metropolis.” Dublin, of course, has special attraction for Joyceans as both the source and subject matter of Joyce's genius, but the essays reproduced here reflect—like the symposium itself—the newest and most exciting trends in Joyce scholarship from around the world.
  The volume includes an introductory essay by the president of the Republic of Ireland, Mary Robinson. The thirty essays that follow were selected from those delivered at nearly 120 different sessions. Faced with so many possibilities, the editors have produced a book that reflects the flavor and intellectual range of the world of Joyce studies as we head divided the volume into a section of general essays, several groupings organized around special topics (“Hostile Responses to Joyce,” “Male Feminisms,” and “’Aeolus’ without Wind”), and sections dealing with the novels and the shorter works.
  The inclusions range from major addresses to essays on topics as diverse as Joyce and race, elements of imagery in Joyce’s works, the Joyce papers of the National Library, Joyce and cinema, Joyce’s reputation (including examinations of attacks on his work), Joyce’s relationships with other writers, Leopold Bloom and being Jewish in Ireland, Joyce and feminism, musical elements in Joyce’s works, Joyce and commodity culture, Finnegans Wake and sexuality, Joyce and homosexuality, Joyce’s narrative strategies, and various theoretical questions. This collection is a vital contribution to Joycean scholarship and will be of great interest to critics, teachers, and students of James Joyce, as well as those interested in modern literature, Irish studies, and critical theory.

ABOUT THE BOOK

The life of John Stanislaus Joyce, father of James, Fenian, Parnellite, drunk who claimed to have cured himself of syphilis. Obsessed with the burden of being the only son of an only son, John Joyce himself fathered no fewer than seventeen children with his long-suffering wife (despite many affairs and many engagements he actually married only once) but was concerned only with his eldest surviving son, James. This was through no intrinsic merit on James's part but because of John Joyce's excessive belief in the rights of primogeniture such that all his other children were excluded from his will and those who predeceased him were not even named on the family gravestone. John, as James liked to claim, gave to his son all of his wit: most of the characters in Ulysses are barely disguised friends of his and the incidents from his life pepper James's fiction. John Joyce was the most important person in James's life. But as well as the light thrown on the century's greatest novelist, this is a depiction of the high-spirits, ebulliant passions, deep depressions, good humour and warm linguistic skills of the ultimate Dublin character.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Irish Literature from the 1920s onwards includes texts which have been the subjects of much critical contention. A literature which has its origins in a time of intense political turmoil, it has provoked various debates to do with definition, scope, and political complexion. This is a period in which ideas of Ireland―of people, community and nation―have been both created and reflected in its writing,  and in which conceptions of a distinct Irish identity have been artiulated, defended, and challenged.

 

The title After Yeats and Joyce suggests the immense influence of these two writers on the styles, stances, and preoccupations of those who have succeeded them in the twentieth century. Neil Corcoran focuses his chapters on specific themes: 'Translatios', "The Big House', ideas of the rural and the provincial , representations of Dublin, and the writing of modern Ireland. Treating such writers as Samuel Beckett, Elisabeth Bowen, Thomas Kinsella, Kate O'Braien, Seamus Heaney, Mary Lavin, and Roddy Doyle, this is a lucid and wide-ranging introduction to modern Irish writing.

 

’Concoran's book is lively, lucid, interestingly planned, senstitive, and possessed of great breadth.'

―Professor Edward Larrissy Deapartment of ENglish Keele University.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

"This is the fullest, most articulate case I know of for Joyce's dialogue with the new sciences. It is well written, lucidly argued, and readable." - Robert Spoo, editor, James Joyce Quarterly

 

"Rice's engagement with chaos and complexity theories is by far the best I've seen by any literary critic. He has a major contribution to make. . . . The time is ripe for this work." - Craig Werner, author of Paradoxical Resolutions: American Fiction since James Joyce

 

Joyce, Chaos, and Complexity studies the manifold relations among twentieth-century mathematics and science, James Joyce's fiction, and the critical reception of Joyce's work. Calling for profound reassessments, Thomas Jackson Rice compellingly argues that Joyce's work resists postmodernist approaches of ambiguity: Joyce never abandoned his conviction that reality exists, regardless of the human ability to represent it.

 

Placing Joyce in his cultural context, Rice first provocatively traces the previously unacknowledged formative influence of Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries on Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. He then demonstrates that, whne later innovations in science transformed entire worldviews, Joyce recognized conventional literary modes of representation as offering merely arbitrary constructions of this new reality. Joyce responded to these developmens in Ulysses by experimenting with perspective, embedding design, and affirming the existence of reality. Rice contends that Ulysses is a precursor to the multiple tensions of chaos theory; likewise, chaos theory can serve as a model for understanding Ulysses. In Finnegans Wake Joyce consummates his vision and anticipates the theories of complexity science through a dynamic approximation of reality.

 

THOMAS JACKSON RICE, a professor of English and director of Graduate Studies at the University of South Carolina, has published research guides on James Joyce, D. H. Lawrence, and Virginia Woolf.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

 Joyce and the Anglo-Irish is a controversial new reading of the pre-Wake fictions. Joining ranks with a number of recent studies that insist on the importance of historical contexts for understanding James Joyce, Len Platt's account has a particular focus on issues of class and culture. The Joyce that emerges from this radical reappraisal is a Catholic writer who assaults the Protestant makers of Ireland's traditional literary landscape. Far from being indifferent to the Irish Literary Revival, the James Joyce of Platt's book attacks and ridicules these revivalist writers and intellectuals who were claiming to construct the Irish nation. Examining the aesthetics and politics of revivalist culture, Len Platt's research produces a James Joyce who makes a crucial intervention in the cultural politics of nationalism. The Joyce enterprise thus becomes centrally concerned both with a disposal of the essentialist culture produced by the tradition of Samuel Ferguson, Standish O'Grady and W. B. Yeats, and a redefining of the 'uncreated conscience' of the race.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

In Joyce, Derrida, Lacan and the Trauma of History, Christine van Boheemen-Saaf examines the relationship between Joyce’s postmodern textuality and the traumatic history of colonialism in Ireland. Joyce’s influence on Lacanian psychoanalysis and Derrida’s philosophy, Van Boheemen-Saaf suggests, ought to be viewed from a postcolonial perspective. She situates Joyce’s writing as a practice of indirect ‘witnessing’ to a history that remains unspeakable. The loss of a natural relationship to language in Joyce calls for a new ethical dimension in the process of reading. The practice of reading becomes an act of empathy to what the text cannot express in words. In this way, she argues, Joyce’s work functions as a material location for the inner voice of Irish cultural memory. This book engages with a wide range of contemporary critical theory and brings Joyce’s work into dialogue with thinkers such as Žižek, Adorno, and Lyotard, as well as feminism and postcolonial theory.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

James Joyce is one of the key innovators of modernism, along with such figures as Picasso, Schoenberg and Stravinsky. However, a myth of Joyce's "difficulty" has taken root which discourages many readers from approaching his work. This is a great pity, because Joyce's writings are deeply human, enormously comic and make compelling reading.;Although Joyce spent much of his life in self-imposed exile, all his writings are obsessively, microscopically focussed on Dublin's fair city. This book provides a beginner's map to the labyrinth of Joyce's visionary Dublin. It takes the reader step by step from the early stories, "The Dubliners", and his immensely readable novel, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man", into the sprawling comic universe of "Ulysses" and finally to the mythic dreamworld of "Finnegan's Wake". This book aims to persuade the reader to overcome his or her doubts about tackling the Irish Sphinx.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

In 1994 the Dublin novelist and playwright Dermot Bolger was commissioned to adapt the novel Ulysses for the stage as the centerpiece of Philadelphia's celebration of the 90th Bloomsday. A Dublin Bloom is the text of that commission, a dramatic and brilliant re-imagining of Joyce's world in theatrical terms.... A fresh and vigorous work of art. -- Fintan O'Toole

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

This work attempts to provide a portrait of Joyce from many viewpoints, aiming at selecting those interviews and recollections that have not been reprinted as well as those that are not readily accessible. James Joyce was a self-centred man. Unlike Wilde and Behan, who were too busy living to write, Joyce, like O'Casey and Yeats, gave the totality of his life to his art. He did not find his diversion in his friends because of the exigencies of his work. However, he was not unsociable - he was capable of strong friendships and the number of people who knew him was enormous, as this collection tries to reflect.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

"A new way to discuss Joyce's nearly impossibly complex compositional habits. . . . Knowlton has so sensitized the reader to the issue of ‘quotation’ that . . . [she] permits discussions which have simply not been possible before."--Garry Leonard, University of Toronto

 

James Joyce never used quotation marks, calling them "perverted" and "unreal." This book springs from that aversion, presenting the first full account of citation from the ancient world forward and tracing Joyce's transgressive relation to that history from Memorabilia to Finnegans Wake.

Eloise Knowlton argues that Joyce's rejection of the mark signals a wider and deeper rejection of the system it implements, one in which the subject/object separation presents an orderly containment of language and of readers. In part through his Irish oral heritage, Joyce inherited a tradition that dissolves these boundaries. Knowlton thus reads Joyce as both hinge and transition, as a voice moving between modern literary and philosophic history and what she calls a "postmodern meltdown of intertextuality."

From the literature of classical antiquity to Foucault, Barthes, and Derrida, Knowlton locates the rhetoric of quotation at four places crucial to contemporary debates: authorship, feminism, historiography, and modern criticism. While exploring the long-standing and incomplete discussion about language ownership, the book offers an original assessment of difficult Joyce texts and Joyce criticism and an illuminating discussion of the status of modern scholarship.

 

Eloise Knowlton is assistant professor of humanities at Boston University. Her essays have appeared in Style, Children's Literature Association Quarterly, and in the anthology Re-Reading the New.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Inductive Scrutinies gathers some of Fritz Senn’s major essays of the last ten years. Based principally on Ulysses, they display anew his regard for Joyce’s text in all its detail. The selection does not attempt a broad overview of Senn’s writing, nor is it organized around a single theme: rather it is meant to show his lifelong interest in the workings of language – its limitations, disruptive energies, its allusive potential within and beyond a single work. In particular it demonstrates continuing concern with the problems of annotation as well as with the reader’s pleasurable and active participation. In the editor’s words, ‘His chosen playground is Joyce as something written, to be scrutinized with dedication. An extraordinary familiarity with the text underlies his response, and his imaginative and nimble explorations always start with and return to Joyce’s word.'

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Garry Leonard looks in detail at Joyce’s representation of a phenomenon that dominates the contemporary landscape: advertising. Taking readers back to its beginnings, Leonard shows that advertising was a central preoccupation of Joyce, one that helps us unravel his often difficult style.

Building on the work of cultural theorists like Lacan, Foucault, Baudrillard, Irigiray, and others, Leonard examines commodity culture in Joyce's work and demonstrates the ways in which characters use (or are used by) modern advertising techniques to make their own identities more intelligible and to fill the Lacanian "permanent lack" of modern identity.

 

The commonality of religion and advertising, the use of "kitsch" as a rhetorical device, the commodity market's exploitation of the proletariat, the role of pornography, the impact of advertising's "normative" modes of dress and behavior, and the role of the modern city as a modernist trope are all explored as aspects of Joyce's work or as pressures faced by his characters. As Leonard demonstrates, "culture" in Joyce is the product of a complex response to psychological, sociological, political, economic, and aesthetic pressures. In Joyce, advertising, as a product of that culture, serves both to reinforce the hegemonic discourse of the day and to subvert it.

 

Excellent work has been done on aspects of commodity culture in Joyce by writers as diverse as Bonnie Kime Scott, Jennifer Wicke, and Brandon Kershner (Joyce and Popular Culture, UPF, 1996), but Leonard's is the first comprehensive study of Joyce and the advertising/commodity nexus, certain to be of equal interest to students and scholars of Joyce, modernism, and cultural studies.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Deriving its title from Stephen Dedalus's observation in "Ulysses" that the artist is the "father of all his race, the father of his own grandfather", "Joyce's Grandfathers" is a study of literary relationship and the ways in which a truly new work of art can shed new light on the themes and techniques of older ones. John M. Warner first places "Ulysses" within the tradition of the English novel and then reads the works of earlier writers - Defoe, Smollet and Sterne - "through the lens" of Joyce's masterpiece. The result is a significant addition to the study of both 18th- and 20th-century literature. Warner contends that Joyce's experimentation with narrative form was in large part a reaction against the realistic, diachronic mode of fiction that predominated during the 19th century. In Defoe, Smollet, and Sterne, Joyce found not only earlier challenges to that mode but also "a revolutionary nostalgia for myth that paralleled his own response to his rationalistic culture". Yet their works also revealed a clear responsiveness to historical circumstances, creating a tension between the timelessness of myth and the chronology of history.

 

Unlike the realists, these particular 18th-century novelists "did not try to conceal the tensions between the synchronic and diachronic thrusts of their fiction but rather explored them openly, unafraid of jagged edges and cacophonous effect". It was these explorations that Joyce found especially useful in the writing of "Ulysses". By compelling us to look backward and to see what he saw in his 18th-century forebears, Warner argues, Joyce "recreates" them for us. This study is thus as much an effort to recontextualise the writing of Defoe, Smollet, and Sterne as it is to place "Ulysses" within the tradition of the English novel. The usual mode of the literary historian is to locate the influence of an earlier work on a later one. By deliberately evoking a double perspective on literary history, however, Warner enables us to understand how Joyce both uses and creates a tradition for his novel - how he "fathers his own grandfathers".
