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


James Joyce's fiction constantly engages with an Ireland whose present and past is marked by the long struggle to achieve full independence from England. Semicolonial Joyce is the first collection of essays to address the importance of Ireland's colonial situation in understanding Joyce's work. The volume brings together leading commentators from Ireland, Britain and the United States, presenting a range of voices rather than a single position on a topic which has had a major impact on Joyce criticism in recent years. Contributors explore Joyce's ambivalent and shifting response to Irish nationalism and reconsider his writing in the context of the history of Western colonialism. The essays both draw on and question the achievements of postcolonial theory, and provide fresh insights into Joyce's resourceful engagement with political issues that remain highly topical today. This book represents a major contribution to Joycean and postcolonial studies.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Since the publication of Richard Ellmann’s James Joyce in 1959, Joyce has received remarkably little biographical attention. Scholars have chipped away at various aspects of Ellmann’s impressive edifice but have failed to construct anything that might stand alongside it. The Years of Bloom is arguably the most important work of Joyce biography since Ellmann. Based on extensive scrutiny of previously unused Italian sources and informed by the author’s intimate knowledge of the culture and dialect of Trieste, The Years of Bloom documents a fertile period in Joyce’s life.
    While living in Trieste, Joyce wrote most of the stories in Dubliners, turned Stephen Hero into A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and began Ulysses. Echoes and influences of Trieste are rife throughout Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Though Trieste had become a sleepy backwater by the time Ellmann visited there in the 1950s, McCourt shows that the city was a teeming imperial port, intensely cosmopolitan and polyglot, during the approximately twelve years Joyce lived there in the waning years of the Habsburg Empire.  It was there that Joyce experienced the various cultures of central Europe and the eastern Mediterranean. He met many Jews, who collectively provided much of the material for the character of Leopold Bloom. He encountered continental socialism, Italian Irredentism, Futurism, and various other political and artistic forces whose subtle influences McCourt traces with literary grace and scholarly rigour. The Years of Bloom, a rare landmark in the crowded terrain of Joyce studies, will instantly take its place as a standard work.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

The Ireland of Ulysses was still a part of Britain. This book is the first comprehensive, historical study of Joyce's great novel in the context of Anglo-Irish political and cultural relations in the period 1880-1920. The first forty years of Joyce's life also witnessed the emergence of what historians now call English cultural nationalism. This formation was perceptible in a wide range of different discourses. Ulysses engages with many of them. In doing so, it resists, transforms and works to transcend the effects of British rule in Ireland. The novel was written in the years leading up to Irish independence. It is powered by both a will to freedom and a will to justice. But the two do not always coincide, and Joyce does not place his art in the service of any extant political cause. His struggle for independence has its own distinctive mode. The result is a unique work of liberation--and revenge.
This eminently learned but lucidly written book transforms our understanding of Joyce's Ulysses. It does so by placing the novel firmly in the historical context of Anglo-Irish political and cultural relations in the period 1880-1920. Gibson argues that Ulysses is a great work of liberation that also takes a complex form of revenge on the colonizer's culture.

The Decentered Universe of Finnegans Wake: A Structuralist Analysis (1976)の著者マーゴ・ノリスによる包括的な『ダブリナーズ』論。そのタイトルにあるように、「深読み」であるように感じられる箇所がなくはない。しかし注目すべきは、ノリスの「ナイーヴな」読み方である。例えば、「痛ましい事件」を論じる際、ダフィがシニコー夫人の情熱的な振る舞いに驚き拒絶する箇所について、ノリスは“Indeed, it is we as readers who are very much surprised by Mr. Duffy’s surprise” (160) と述べる。確かに言われてみればその通り、という指摘であると同時に、テキストを虚心坦懐に読んでいるノリスの誠実さの現われである。さらに、テキストを丹念に読みつつ、先行研究と自説の接点を詳細に且つ、簡潔にまとめているノリスの手さばきに驚かずにはいられない。近年ノリスは、『ユリシーズ』を先入観や背景知識なしに読むことの意義と、『ユリシーズ』を教えることの意義を考察した“Ulysses for Beginners” (2004) で着目されている。いずれこちらも『ユリシーズ』を論じる上では「古典」になるだろう。(K)

NOTES

Dublinersの翻訳者の一人である米本義孝氏の『ダブリンの人びと』研究である。日本で唯一Dublinersを徹底的に論じた本書は、ジョイスの小説家としての出発点だけでなく、文学研究とは何かということをも明らかにしている。米本氏の読解は、『ダブリンの人びと』の翻訳にも見られるように、リアリズムに特化しすぎているきらいはある。私個人としては、ジョイスは初期から既に作品の中に様々な「象徴」を描き込んでいたように思う。しかし、「精読」を中心に据えて作品の細部を読み込んでゆく米本氏の姿勢は、JoyceというLiterary Giantに接する際の心構えをいつでも私たちに提示してくれていると言えるだろう。また、『ユリシーズ』に初めて触れる人には、小田基編、米本義孝注釈『読解「ユリシーズ」』(研究社出版、一九九六年〉がおすすめである。(K)

NOTES

 

アトリッジ氏編による『ユリシーズ』研究のための入門書である。すべての論考が既に単行本に収録されているものではあるが(例えばケナーのものはJames Joyce's "Ulysses"(1980)に、エルマンのものは"The Language of Joyce"(1992)に収録されている)、アトリッジ氏のイントロは相変わらず鋭く、冴え渡っているし、こうして一覧したときに、現在の研究動向が窺えるのもありがたい。個人的にはモード・エルマンの『ユリシーズ』と亡霊についての論に強く関心を引かれた。フロイトとラカンなどを援用しながらも、理論に偏ることなく、貨幣やモリーの過去の男たちに「亡霊」を読み取ってゆく手さばきはさすがであると思った。近日発売される『亡霊のイギリス文学――豊饒なる空間』(富士川義之・結城英雄編:国文社)にあるように、亡霊のモチーフで文学を読むことは伝統的手法でありながら、まだまだ追究する余地のあるジャンルであろう。(K)

ABOUT THE BOOK
Palgrave Advances in James Joyce Studies, edited by Jean-Michel Rabaté, is a comprehensive guide to new critical approaches to James Joyce studies. The concept of this collection of essays written by renowned Joyce specialists is threefold: each contribution deals with an exciting theme and develops and original problematic; each theme is chosen so as to deal with the entire spectrum of Joyce's works; and each essay contains an update on recent scholarship. The aim is to help students read all the works and write competently about them. Joyce's oeuvre can be grasped as a whole, from the easier short stories to the opaque pages of Finnegans Wake. Joyce's books form an organic corpus, from early unpublished texts to the later experiments. This book situates Joyce in his times, from the neo-Thomism that dominated Catholic institutions in Ireland to an international modernism looking toward the future of a unified Europe, and also in a posterity marked by globalization and cosmopolitanism that has chosen him as the most important writer of the twentieth-century.
 
 
'This volume will be a distinctive presence among the hundreds of books on Joyce, opening up new ways of thinking about Joyce's work and career and offering valuable insights into the state of Joyce criticism at the start of the twenty-first century. By treating Joyce's oeuvre as a whole, rather than devoting separate chapters to each of the major works, the contributors - an admirable mix of established critics and new voices - are able to span a number of important topics that pertain to the whole range of his writing.'  - Professor Derek Attridge, Department of English, University of York

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Joyce's life and writings continue to attract huge interest and controversy. For much of his life, he had to struggle against poverty, ill health (enduring many operations on his eyes) and problems associated with the publishing of his books or extracts from them. This chronology travels from his early years in Dublin (from which he permanently exiled himself in 1912) to his years on the continent, principally Trieste, Zurich (where he died in 1941) and Paris, and deals not only with his four major prose works, but also his poetry, one extant play, his journalism, lecturers and articles. It draws upon many sources including the latest research, includes helpful sections on people of importance in Joyce's life and is fully indexed. This is an invaluable reference tool for students, scholars and all those interested in this key twentieth-century writer.

 

Roger Norburn is a retired WEA Tutor/ Organizer. He led groups of adult students to the Ireland of W. B. Yeats and the Dublin of James Joyce, and tutored weekend schools on Joyce.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

現代文学の最高峰ジェイムズ・ジョイス。難解というイメージを覆す「楽しむ」入門書


二十世紀西欧を代表するアイルランドの作家ジェイムズ・ジョイスは、現代文学の前衛として、新しい文体を創り出し、小説形式の革新を図って表現の可能性を追求した。ジョイス以後の作家はみな彼の影響を受けていると言ってもいいだろう。貧困、重い眼病と深酒、娘の狂気などに苦しみながら、大陸を放浪しつつも常にダブリンを舞台に、精力的に小説を書き続けた。そこに描かれた宗教、植民地支配、民族主義、ユダヤ人問題、文芸、愛と性などは、なお今日の問題として重要である。本書では、ジョイスの生涯と主要四作品、猥褻裁判を含めた文学的評価を簡潔に紹介し解説する。「難解」といったイメージを覆す、なにより「ジョイスを楽しむ」入門書。

 

結城 英雄(ゆうき ひでお)一九四八年、群馬県生まれ。東京大学大学院修士課程修了。法政大学文学部 教授。英文学者。日本ジェイムズ・ジョイス協会常任委員。ジョイスを知ることで味わう喜びを一人でも多く共有してほしいと精力的に活動し、『ジェイムズ・ジョイス事典』(共訳、松柏社)やジョイス『ダブリンの市民』(岩波文庫)の翻訳、『アルビオンの彼方で』(共著、研究社出版)『「ユリシーズ」の謎を歩く』(サントリー学芸賞受賞、集英社)などの著作がある。

 

NOTES

 

ジョイスについて知りたければ、まずこの本。「楽しむ」入門書、という表現はまさに適切だと思われる。本書以前にジョイスの「全体像」を明らかにしている本は日本において存在していなかった。その意味でも結城氏が日本のジョイス研究に与えた功績は大きい。ジョイスの実人生を概観し、さらに、主要作品4つのあらすじを見ることができる。とりわけ、『フィネガンズ・ウェイク』のあらすじは、言語の深い深い森であるFWの導入としては最適である。同著者の『「ユリシーズ」の謎を解く』(集英社、一九九九年)もまた、優れた入門書である。(K)

NOTES 

 

本書は、『ユリシーズ』と『フィネガンズ・ウェイク』という壮大な「テキストの仕掛け」=「からくり」を鮮やかに読み解いてゆく。例えば、1章ではブルームをflow-erとして読むことの意義が、5章ではジョイスの歴史意識が口蹄疫/失言病として現れていることが論じられている。注では、筆者が先行研究や草稿を実に丁寧に調べ上げていることが伝わってくるが、こちらはむしろわたしたち研究者への目配せという感じで、本書の最も優れた点は、その語りがテキストの「からくり」を解くために、論点を絞ってゆく際の手さばきではないだろうか。これによって、本書は文学好きの一般読書であっても楽しんで読むことのできる「親切心」に溢れたものとなっている。

もちろん、研究者にとって必須の書であるし(本書第1章は『ユリシーズ』第5挿話、第2章は第11挿話、第3章は第12挿話、第4章は第15挿話、第5章は第2&16挿話、第6章は第17挿話を主として論じている)、論点をフォーカスするのが苦手な若き研究者(私のことです)にとっても大いに参考になるはずだ。(K)

NOTES

 

テキストに註をつけてゆくこと――それが外国語文学研究の根底にあるものであるとすれば、本書はなくなりつつあるその伝統を踏襲している。『ユリシーズ』のある部分を取り出し、丁寧な註をつけてゆくという地道な作業を、上巻に続き米本氏は丁寧に行っている。 学部の卒業論文で『ユリシーズ』を扱う人には、是非一度手にとっていただきたい本である。(K)

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Joyce Ulysses
In this engaging introduction, Vincent Sherry combines a close reading of Ulysses with new critical arguments. Besides providing a useful guide to the episodic sequence of Joyce’s novel, he freshly addresses the major issues in Ulysses criticism. He shows hoe Joyce’s modernist epic remodels Homer’s Odyssey, and he examines and explains Joyce’s extraordinary verbal experiments, reading anew the most challenging language of the text. He also reclaims the landmark status of Joyce’s monumental novel, situating it in the relevant contexts of literary tradition and political history. this book is essential reading for all students of Joyce, whether they are approaching Ulysses for the first time or returning to the text.

 

・This second edition of this widely used volume, is now available to a new  generation of students
・Takes into account historical contexts to shed light on the text
・Includes fully updated guide to further reading
・Provides Joyce’s linguistic richness with clear, concise interpretations

ABOUT THE BOOK

Paperback Re-issue
From its very beginning, psychoanalysis sought to incorporate the aesthetic into its domain, translating it as vagrant symptom or sublimated desire. Despite Joyce’s deliberate attempt in his writing to resist this powerful hermeneutic, his work has been confronted by a long translation of psychoanalytic readings. Luke Thurston argues that this very antagonism holds the key to how psychoanalytic thinking can still open up new avenues in Joycean criticism and literary theory. In particular, Thurston shows that Jacques Lacan’e encounter with Joyce forms part of an effort to think beyond the ‘application’ of theory: instead of merely diagnosing Joyce’s writing or claiming to have deciphered its riddles, Lacan seeks to understand how it can entail an unreadable signature, a unique act of social transgression that defies translation into discourse. Thurston imaginatively builds on Lacan’s notion of Joyce’s irreducible literary act to illuminate Joyce’s place in a wide-ranging literary genealogy that includes Shakespeare, Hogg, Stevenson and Wilde. This study should be essential reading for all students of Joyce, literary theory and psychoanalysis.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

This collection of critical essays on James Joyce's modernist masterpiece presents an overview of the most recent critical positions and introduces a number of new voices to the lively area of Joyce scholarship. Together, the essays comprehensively address the entire text of Ulysses from the stances of structuralism and poststructuralism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, gender and postcolonial studies, and present many views that challenge established thinking on Joyce and modernist literature. Framed by an introduction that assesses particularity and universal schemes in Joyce's novel, this essential volume will provide stimulating critical support for students and teachers alike.

ABOUT THE  BOOK

 

The intellectual scope and cultural impact of British writers cannot be assessed without reference to their 'European fortune'. This collection of 29 essays, prepared by an international team of scholars, critics and translators, records the ways in which James Joyce's work has been received, translated and published in different areas of Europe. Joyce is now widely considered one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Joyce’s transcendental work of modernism, Ulysses, smashed the realistic conventions of the nature bourgeois novel into a flood of styles. Here was an entirely new realism that built upon Freud’s psychology, Picasso’s art, Einstein’s physics, Stravinsky’s music, Wittgenstein’s philosophy—all reflecting the entirely new ways in which humanity was coming to regard itself and the world around it. Joyce’s “stream of consciousness” provoked outrage, but it was the art of the future. The twentieth century had found its voice.

 

In James Joyce in 90 minutes, Paul Strathern offers a concise, expert account of Joyce’s life and ideas, and explains their influence on literature and on man’s struggle to understand his place in the world. The book also includes selections from Joyce’s writings; a list of his chief works; a chronology of Joyce’s life and times; and recommended reading for those who wish to push further.

 

NOTES

 

「90分でわかる」シリーズの作者、ポール・ストラザーンによるジョイスの「超」入門書。(私は同シリーズを翻訳されているものはほとんどすべて読んだが、特にサルトルとアインシュタインがおすすめである)学術向きではないが、作家の生涯と作品を手っ取り早く知るには(英語で書かれた中では)間違いなく最も手軽な本である。ストラザーンは、ジョイス作品の中から引用を交えつつ、ユーモアたっぷりにその人生と作品を解説する(自伝的要素はエルマンに依拠している)。ヘインズをアングロ・アイリッシュと書いてあったり(62)、ジョイスをどの程度まで読み込んでいるかには大いに疑問があるのだが、彼の語り口の手際の良さにすらすらと読めてしまうこと請け合いである。(K)

ABOUT THE DVD

 

First published in 1922, 'Ulysses' was the peace of work that made the name of its author, James Joyce. Its publication was seen to expand the domain of permissible subjects in fiction.

 

a remarkable ambitious novel, a labyrinthine work of great humor and technical accomplishment, it once was denounced as obscene, occasionally was accused of being unreadable and is now generally acclaimed as being the greatest book of the 20th Century.

 

Although he spent most of his adult life outside of Ireland, Joyce's fictional universe was firmly rooted in Dublin, providing him with both setting and subject matte.

 

In 'James Joyce's Dublin: The Ulysses Tour,' Robert Nicholson, curator of the James Joyce Museum, Sandycove, conducts us through Joyce's world, with great enthusiasm and an irreverent sensibility that Joyce would surely have relished. whilst allowing himself a couple of very Irish digs at the great man, he shares his administration for the writer with us, together with his love of the novel and the city that gave birth to it, in a manner that is entirely captivating.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

‘Bethicket me for a stump of beech if I have the poultriest notions what the farest he all means’
FINNEGANS WAKE, James Joyce

 

James Joyce is known most widely as a difficult writer, even if he is no longer condemned as an obscene one. Yet many readers – and not just in colleges and universities – have discovered his books to be funny, moving, illuminating, and packed with memorable moments.

 

There are some simple ways to overcome the initial intimidation that Joyce’s style can cause. In this book, Derek Attridge shows how even the shortest passage of Joyce’s writing can yield its humour and insights without the need for immense learning or lengthy training. Moving through all of Joyce’s major books, from the deceptive clarity of Dubliners to the apparent craziness of Finnegans Wake, he demonstrates that they are all, in their different ways, a pleasure to read – even if we have to make some adjustments to our understanding of what ‘reading’ is.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

“An important contribution to genetic textual scholarship, the study of the process of a writer’s production. . . . To enable us to grasp [Joyce’s] process in its very becoming, as this book does, is a huge achievement.”  —Terence Killeen, The Irish Times

 

In this landmark study of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, Luca Crispi and Sam Slote have brought together fourteen other leading Joyce experts to explore the genesis of one of the twentieth century’s most intriguing works of fiction. By investigating a work through its earlier drafts, genetic criticism grounds speculative interpretations in a historical, material context and opens up a broader horizon for critical and textual interpretation.

 

“The most complete and accurate account to date of the competition of James Joyce’s greatest work.”  —Roland McHugh, author of Annotations to Finnegans Wake

 

“Insightful and relevant, this volume significantly advances the explorations of earlier studies. It is the first comprehensive genetic discussion of Finnegans Wake chapter by chapter, and anyone seriously interested in Joyce and the Wake will benefit from reading it.”  —A. Nicholas Fargnoli, Molloy College 

 

“A major step forward in the critical history of the book that is Joyce’s most challenging work and one of the twentieth century’s most significant artistic productions.”  —Derek Attridge, University of York

 

Luca Crispi is lecturer in Joyce and modernism at the Research Centre for James Joyce Studies, School of English and Drama, University College, Dublin. He has prepared material bibliographies, catalogs, and exhibitions at the University at Buffalo, the National Library of Ireland, and elsewhere. 

Sam Slote is lecturer in James Joyce studies and critical theory at Trinity College, Dublin and is the author of The Silence in Progress of Dante, Mallarmé, and Joyce and the coeditor of Probes: Genetic Studies in Joyce and Genitricksling Joyce.

NOTES

 

『ダブリナーズ』において、私が一作をあげるとすれば「痛ましい事件」をあげたいと思う。この作品は、ジョイスについて知らない人であっても物語として充分に楽しむことができるように思えるからだ。その意味で「痛ましい事件」は19世紀的な短編小説であり、男女の恋愛というメロドラマ的要素もある。しかしそれはジョイスが望んだ芸術形式ではなかった。ジョイスは芸術のあるべき姿を静的なものであると述べたことがあるが、これが意味するのは、物語性ではなくひとつの場面を登場人物の印象と意識を織り交ぜて描写することに、彼が力点をおいていたということである。Owensは「痛ましい事件」で一冊の本を書き上げた。4章のタイトルでもあるSpoiled Priestとしてダフィを見なすという主張こそ、本作で彼が最も強調する点である(108-43)。さらにこの点をニーチェではなくショーペンハウエルに接続したことに彼のオリジナリティがあると言えよう。いずれにせよ、今後「痛ましい事件」を論じる者にとって必須の文献であることは間違いない。(K)

ABOUT THE BOOK

Seminar paper from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England- und Amerikastudien), course: Einführung in die Literaturwissenschaft, 7 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Though James Joyce's talent for words was not fully appreciated in his day, yet he was known for being a gifted writer with excellent narrative abilities. Literature experts agree that these skills were mainly shaped during the creation of "Dubliners", a volume of more comprehensible short stories published in 1914. The genius of this collection revolving round the ill-fated lower middle class life in early 20th century Dublin is the lively description of the individual characters contained therein. Joyce accomplished these detailed characterizations by mainly using actual friends and acquaintances as well as enemies as models for his characters. In "A Painful Case", the "most sophisticated and complex 'Dubliners' story" (Adam Sexton), it is apparent that James Joyce himself serves as a blueprint for the main character of the story, James Duffy. Accordingly, this written work contends that "A Painful Case" is in reality a glimpse at Joyce's own personal life, and more particularly at the relationship to his future wife Nora Barnacle.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

『ユリシーズ』は物語ではなく「物・語り」である。
通常、「物」は自ら言葉を発することがなく、一方的に「語られる」存在である。
植民地支配によって本来の言葉と文化を奪われた人々、政治的・宗教的迫害によって故郷を追われた人々、父権制社会の下で「声」を失った女性たち、帝国主義戦争で倒れた無名の兵士たち。
彼らは自らについて語ることができない「物」として生きた。
ジョイスが二十歳そこそこで捨てた故郷アイルランドは、そのような人々の声なき声に満ちていたのである。


モダニズムの代表作を精緻に読み解く気鋭の論考。

 

NOTES

 

それまで中立的・客観的な語りと思われてきた文体が、いかにして社会的弱者の声を退けてきたか。ユリシーズは章ごとに文体を変え、語りのしくみそのものに注意を喚起する。そして一見中立にみえる語りの端々に、それまでは「物」として語られるままであった不在者たちの声を響かせ、「語りの暴力」をあばこうとする。不在者の声は彼ら自身の「語り」というにはあまりにもかすかだが、聴こうという想いがあれば必ずや聞こえてくる。ただし、その声を聞き取ることができるのは、私たち読者をおいてほかにいない。その点において、ユリシーズとはまさに、テクストそのものが読者の積極的な介入を誘うように書かれているといえる。

 

本書はユリシーズが促す「読者の介入」の仕方を丹念に手ほどきしてくれる「読み」のガイドでもある。ナラトロジーに依拠しつつも、先行研究への言及を最小限にとどめることで難解な学術書という印象を与えることがないため、ジョイス作品初心者にも読みやすいと感じた。ユリシーズを少しかじってみたものの、そのおもしろさがいまいち掴みきれない、読み手としてどのようにアプローチしてよいかわからない、という方にぜひおすすめしたい。(H)

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

'In the canon of twentieth-century literature, Joyce’s work is unignorable, but daunting to many. this fresh, lively, lucid introduction to Ulysses is admirably aware of the critical literature, particularly recent postcolonial and historical approaches, and is equipped with a helpful apparatus for beginners.'

(Andrew Gibson, Research Professor of Modern Literature and Theory, Royal Holloway, University of London, and former Segal Professor of Irish Literature at Northwestern University, USA)

 

Ulysses remains less widely read than most texts boasting such a canonical status, largely due to misunderstanding about how to read it, and this guide provides an easy to follow remedy. By showing how Joyce reacted to the historical and cultural context in which he was situated, the radical nature of his use of language is laid bare in a chapter-by-chapter analysis of Ulysses. this approach enables the student reader to read and enjoy the novel’s plurality of styles and to understand the terms of critical debate surrounding the nature and significance of Joyce’s novel.


Sean Sheehan has taught in London and is now a full-time writer. He has written a number of guides, including ones to Gerard Manley Hopkins and Tony Harrison (both Greenwich Exchange).

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Unlike many recent Joyce studies, De-familiarizing Readings eschews the theoretical and ideological and instead plants itself on firmer ground. Its eight outstanding Joyce scholars share a love of the "stuff" of texts, contexts, and intertexts: data and dates, food and clothing, letters and journals, literary allusions, and other quotidian desiderata. Their inductive approaches - whether to Dubliners, Portrait of the Artist, Ulysses, or Finnegans Wake - are thoroughly researched, argued with meticulous, even nit-picking, precision, and offer the pleasurable reading experience of forensic analysis. And in the end they provide the satisfaction of reaching persuasive conclusions that seem both striking and inevitable.

ABOUT THE BOOK 

 

This great modernist masterpiece, which for

many readers seems so intimidating, is a bookthat can teach us how to live better lives.

 

Declan Kiberd shows that Ulysses, far from being the epitome of elitism, was always intended as a book for the common people. It was rooted in their experience and offers a humane vision of a decent life under the dreadful pressures of the modern world. Leopold Bloom, the book’s hero, shows the young Stephen Dedalus how he can grow and mature as an artist and as a tolerant, adult human being. Bloom has learned to live with contradictions, with anxiety and sexual jealousy, and with the rudeness and racism of the people he encounters in the streets of Dublin. Apparently banal, he embodies an intensely ordinary kind of wisdom, and in this way offers us a model for living well.

 

Ulysses continues to be one of the central books of the twentieth century and this is an audacious new take on it, designed to remove it from the claustrophobic atmosphere of the Joyce Industry and restore it to its shocking, democratic origins. Kiberd has written a moving and controversial book, free of literary-critical jargon and specialist concerns. With it he confirms his position as one of Ireland’s leading public intellectuals.


  ‘The most exciting book I know on the most exciting novel ever written. Declan Kiberd’s brilliantly informed and highly entertaining advocacy liberates Joyce’s greatest book from the dungeon of unreadable masterpieces and restores it to being what its maker intended: a treasury of joys, a guide to enlightened living. Ulysses, finally, is a book about a friendship between a sometimes difficult young genius and a man made wise by life. No novel ever had a more understanding friend than Declan Kiberd.’

Joseph O’Connor, author of Redemption Falls and Star of the Sea

 

‘A feast. This book will reach and move many ordinary and extraordinary readers.’

NOTES 

 

Inventing Ireland (1996) や The Irish Writer and the World (2005) といった優れた「研究書」を数多く出しているカイバード氏の本書の狙いは、『ユリシーズ』を「専門家」から「一般の読者(The Common Reader)」のもとに返すことである。聖書やシェイクスピアのように、『ユリシーズ』は「ふつう」の人々が幾つもの教訓を引き出すことができる本であるという「宣言」から本書は始まる。その後「目覚める」から「愛する」に到る『ユリシーズ』18の挿話が、カイバード氏の切れ味鋭い分析によって次々と描かれてゆく。文体こそクリアであるが、彼のレトリックには所々でいくつかのジャンプが見られる。それは論理的瑕疵というよりは、むしろ心地よい飛翔であり、読者をぐいぐい引っ張ってゆくような力強いものだ。

ABOUT THE BOOK: 

 

In reconstructing Joyce’s Triestine years, 1904-1915 and 1919-1920, so crucial to his literary growth, this book also avails of unpublished sources, of documents, of newly-checked data from the registry offices, and offers itself as a useful guide to the places most relevant to the great writer’s daily life, his work, his social and “recreational” relationships. Maps and routes trace a geography at once physical and spiritual to help the interested party in his search for an emotional self-identification with the Trieste of the beginning of this century, the Trieste where A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was finished, the play Exiles was written, Ulysses was conceived, and the prose-poem Giacomo Joyce first saw the light, the only Joycean work set in Trieste.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

When a correspondent from Missouri wrote to Hugh Kenner and asked that he elaborate on his assertion that "Joyce began Ulysses in naturalism and ended it in parody," Kenner answered with this book. Joyce's Voices is both a helpful guide through Joyce's complexities, and a brief treatise on the concept of objectivity: the idea that the world can be perceived as a series of reports to our senses. Objectivity, Kenner claims, was a modern invention, and one that the modernists—Joyce foremost among them—found problematic. Accessible and enjoyable, Joyce's Voices is what so much criticism is not: an aid to better understanding—and enjoying more fully—the work of one of the world's greatest writers.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

This groundbreaking book explores the role 19th century Irish Catholic authors played in forging the creation of modern Irish literature. As such it offers a unique tour of Ireland’s literary landscape, from early origins during the Catholic political resurgence of the 1820s to the transformative zenith wrought by James Joyce’s Ulysses in 1922. Emer Nolan observes that contemporary Irish literature is steeped in the ambitions and internal conflicts of a previously captive Irish Catholic culture that came into its own with the narrative art form. He revisits, with keen insights, the prescient and influential songs, poems, and prose of Thomas Moore. He also points out that Moore’s wildly successful work helped create an audience for authors to come, i.e. John and Michael Banim, William Carleton and the popular novelists Gerald Griffin and Charles Kickham. An innovative aspect of this study is the author’s exploration of the relationship between James Joyce and Irish culture and his nineteenth-century Irish Catholic predecessors and their political and national passions. It is, in effect, a telling look at the future history of Irish fiction.

CONTENTS

 

James Joyce and the Act of Reception is a detailed account of Joyce's own engagement with the reception of his work. It shows how Joyce's writing, from the earliest fiction to Finnegans Wake, addresses the social conditions of reading (particularly in Ireland). Most notably, it echoes and transforms the responses of some of Joyce's actual readers, from family and friends to key figures such as Eglinton and Yeats. This study argues that the famous 'unreadable' quality of Joyce's writing is a crucial feature of its historical significance. Not only does Joyce engage with the cultural contexts in which he was read but, by inscribing versions of his own contemporary reception within his writing, he determines that his later readers read through the responses of earlier ones. In its focus on the local and contemporary act of reception, Joyce's work is seen to challenge critical accounts of both modernism and deconstruction.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Margot Norris discusses the challenges that Ulysses, one of the greatest and most difficult novels of the twentieth century, posed to the filmmaker, along with the production and censorship problems that Strick encountered before the film was released to great contemporary critical acclaim.

James Joyce, interested in drama from his youth, encountered early Italian cinema in Trieste and subsequently worked to establish the first movie-house in Dublin in 1909. He eventually discussed his cinematographic writing techniques with the great Russian filmmaker, Sergei Eisenstein. But although Joyce considered the possibilities of filming his famous 1922 novel at various times in his life, Ulysses was not brought to the screen until independent filmmaker Joseph Strick released his adaptation in 1967. Margot Norris discusses the challenges that Ulysses, one of the greatest and most difficult novels of the twentieth century, posed to the filmmaker, along with the production and censorship problems that Strick encountered before the film was released to great contemporary critical acclaim. Though rigorously faithful to Joyce's language, Strick's decision to set the story in 1960s Dublin subtly shifted its political focus while producing an intensified humanistic interpretation of Joyce's novel.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

James Joyce has written that 'the man of genius makes no mistakes; his errors are the portals of discovery.' In Joyces Mistakes, Tim Conley explores the question of what constitutes an 'error' in a work of art. Using the works of James Joyce, particularly Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, as central exploratory fields, Conley argues that an 'aesthetic of error' permeates Joyce's literary productions; readers and criticism of Joyce's texts are inevitably affected by a slippery dialectic between the possibility of mistake and the potential for irony.Outlining modernism's struggle with textual authority and completion, Conley locates Joyce among his literary contemporaries, including Herman Melville, Marianne Moore, Ezra Pound, and Marcel Proust. He finds that Joyce's reconfigurations of authorial presence and his error-generating methods problematize all attempts to edit, anthologize, and even quote or cite his texts. Yet Conley goes well beyond cataloguing the instances where error is at issue in Joyce's canon; he offers a comprehensive, engaging look at theories of error.

He extends his analysis of Joyce to examine the radical reshaping of cognition by 'the textual condition' (McGann), and suggests that the act of reading's propensity for diversity of error makes 'misreadings' valuable critical experiments and the basis of literary theory.Joyces Mistakes is an absorbing and sophisticated work, a portal of discovery in its own right.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: A Casebook offers a comprehensive introduction to a landmark in modern fiction. The essays collected here will help first-time readers, teachers, and advanced scholars gain new insight into Joyce's semi-autobiographical story of an Irish boy's slow and difficult discovery of his artistic vocation. The epitome of the modernist Bildungsroman, or novel of education, Joyce's novel was controversial from the moment of its publication in 1916, and Mark Wollaeger's introduction provides an overview of the composition and early reception of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man as well as a survey of some of the recurrent issues debated by literary critics. The selection of the essays is designed to address major critical issues, provide detailed readings of important passages, and trace the evolution of critical responses to the novel. Essays by Hugh Kenner and Patrick Parrinder offer both indispensable overviews of the entire novel-its themes, structure, and idiom-and close attention to specific interpretive cruxes. In addition to classic responses to Portrait, such as Wayne Booth's critique of authorial "distance," Fritz Senn's unpacking of the epigraph, and Michael Levenson's reading of the diary, the collection includes a newly revised and expanded version of Maud Ellmann's groundbreaking 1982 poststructuralist essay, "Polytropic Man," and essays by Helene Cixous, Joseph Valente, Vicki Mahaffey, Emer Nolan, Marian Eide, Marjorie Howes, and Mark Wollaeger. Some essays are oriented toward literary history, genre, biography or formalism; others draw on recent developments in queer theory and postcolonial studies; others on the turn towards history exemplified in Irish studies. All are very readable and pay close attention to intricacies of Joyce's text. Together the essays bring into focus the wide range of questions that have kept A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man fresh for the new millennium.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

In James Joyce, Sexuality and Social Purity, Katherine Mullin offers a richly detailed account of Joyce's lifelong battle against censorship. Through prodigious archival research, Mullin shows Joyce responding to Edwardian ideologies of social purity by accentuating the 'contentious' or 'offensive' elements in his work. The censorious ambitions of the social purity movement, Mullin claims, feed directly into Joyce's writing. Paradoxically, his art becomes dependent on the very forces that seek to constrain and neutralize its revolutionary force. Acutely conscious of the dangers censorship presented to publication, Mullin shows Joyce revenging himself by energetically ridiculing purity campaigns throughout his fiction. Ulysses, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Dubliners all meticulously subvert purity discourse, as Joyce pastiches both the vice crusaders themselves and the imperilled 'Young Persons' they sought to protect. This important book will change the way Joyce is read and offers crucial insights into the sexual politics of Modernism.

ABOUT THE BOOK

 

Jan Morris (then James) first visited Trieste as a soldier at the end of the Second World War. Since then, the city has come to represent her own life, with all its hopes, disillusionments, loves and memories. Here, her thoughts on a host of subjects – ships, cities, cats, sex, nationalism, Jewishness, civility and kindness – are inspired by the presence of Trieste, and recorded in or between the lines of this book. 

Evoking the whole of its modern history, from its explosive growth to wealth and fame under the Habsburgs, through the years of Fascist rule to the miserable years of the Cold War, when rivalries among the great powers prevented its creation as a free city under United Nations auspices, Trieste and the Meaning of Nowhere is neither a history nor a travel book; like the place, it is one of a kind. 

Jan Morris’s collection of travel writing and reportage spans over five decades and includes such titles as Venice, Coronation Everest, Hong Kong, Spain, Manhattan ’45, A Writer’s World and the Pax Britannica Trilogy. Hav, her novel, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize and the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
