ABOUT THE BOOK

 

James Joyce is one of the greatest writers in English. His first book, A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man laid down the template for the Coming of Age novel, while his collection of short stories, Dubliners, is of perennial interest. His great modern epic, Ulysses, took the city of Dublin for its setting and all human life for its subject, and its publication in 1922 marked the beginning of the modern novel. Joyce's final work, Finnegans Wake is an endless experiment in narrative and language. But if Joyce is a great writer he is also the most difficult writer in English. Finnegans Wake is written in a freshly invented language, and Ulysses exhausts all the forms and styles of English. Even the apparently simple Dubliners has plots of endless complexity, while the structure of A Portrait of the Artist as A Young Man is exceptionally intricate.

  

This Very Short Introduction explores the work of this most influential yet complex writer, and analyses how Joyce's difficulty grew out of his situation as an Irish writer unwilling to accept the traditions of his imperialist oppressor, and contemptuous of the cultural banality of the Gaelic revival. Joyce wanted to investigate and celebrate his own life, but this meant investigating and celebrating the drunks of Dublin's pubs and the prostitutes of Dublin's brothels. No subject was alien to him and he developed the naturalist project of recording all aspects of life with the symbolist project of finding significant correspondences in the most unlikely material. Throughout, Colin MacCabe interweaves Joyce's life and history with his books, and draws out their themes and connections.

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

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.

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.”

―Sheldon Brivic, Temple University

 

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.

 

Enda Duffy is assistant professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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".

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The writer Italo Svevo had many things in common with other writers: a long struggle for recognition; a mutually respectful friendship with a noteworthy author (in Svevo's case, James Joyce); and a long list of neuroses. His choice of a wife, however, was anything but common. Livia Veneziani Svevo tirelessly worked on her husband's behalf after his tragic early death and also penned this remarkable portrait of a serious artist and a loving (if quirky) marriage. Memoir of Italo Svevo illuminates its subject's darkly comic novels, telling the story of how a successful businessman in his middle age, obsessed with smoking as much as his abandoned literary ambitions, somehow became one of the great authors of the twentieth century.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

As Robert Scholes explains in his introduction, this volume is "a record of prolonged engagement with the riddle of Joyce." Beginning with his 1961 essay on Stephen Dedalus and moving chronologically to an impor- tant new essay on Joyce and Picasso, the book gradually reveals two stories: one of the author's evolving critical perspective on Joyce, and another about the changes in critical methods in literary study over three decades. Because each chapter begins with a new headnote situating the topic and Scholes's approach to it in relation to his own work and to the critical climate of the day, the sequencing alone contributes much to an understanding of the recent history of Joyce criticism. The essays detail the progress of an adventurous and flexible critic from an early New Critical wish to read Joyce's work as the product of a single extraordinary mind, through structural and semiotic approaches to the Joycean text, to essays that draw on a wider learning to locate Joyce and his work in the social and political context of modern cultural studies.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

This title, first published in 1990, offers a feminist and psychoanalytic reassessment of the Joycean canon in the wake of Freud, Lacan, and Kristeva. The author centres her discussion of Ulysses, Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist, Finnegans Wake, and Exiles around questions of desire and language and the politics of sexual difference.

 

Suzette Henke’s radical "re-vision" of Joyce’s work is a striking example of the crucial role feminist theory can play in contemporary evaluation of canonical texts. As such it will be welcomed by feminists and students of literature alike.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The literary relationship of James Joyce and Wyndham Lewis has previously been described in merely biographical terms. In The Fictions of James Joyce and Wyndham Lewis Scott W. Klein takes Wyndham Lewis's criticism of Ulysses in Times and Western Man and Joyce's implicit response to Lewis in Finnegans Wake as an emblematic opposition signalling significant textual relations within and between the fictions of the two authors. The seeing eye and the world, the creating mind and fiction, language and its aesthetic and political object, and the processes of history: all appear in the work of both Joyce and Lewis, as related thematic structures that raise questions about binarism, dialectic, and the reconciliation of opposites. Detailed examination of key texts by Joyce and Lewis reveals affiliations between the two writers, and offers insight into the politics and aesthetics of modernism.

 

  • Explores the textual relationship between Wyndham Lewis and James Joyce
  • Revises our understanding of the work of both authors, but particularly Joyce's Finnegans Wake
  • Offers an insight into aesthetics and politics in literary modernism
