The Conscience of James Joyce

The Conscience of James Joyce

Darcy O'Brien

Princeton University Press
2016
sidottu
James Joyce, the great and bold literary innovator of our time, was also a rebel in life, a self-exile from family, nation, and religion. Criticism of Joyce, when it has not been purely technical, has sought in Joyce's work ideas as radical as his techniques and as rebellious as his life. Mr. O'Brien discovers that Joyce was neither morally revolutionary nor morally neutral. Instead, Joyce emerges as an Irishman clinging to a conception of human nature largely derived from the Irish Catholic background he so vehemently denounced. In this study of Joyce's work, from his early poems through Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, Mr. O'Brien argues that Joyce eventually achieved, in his books, a comic perspective on the follies of mankind. Originally published in 1968. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Yeats and Joyce

Yeats and Joyce

Alistair Cormack

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2008
sidottu
While postcolonial studies has contributed much to our understanding of Irish modernism, it has also encouraged less-than-accurate portrayals of Joyce and Yeats as polar opposites: Yeats as the inventor of Irish mystique and Joyce as its relentless demythologiser. Alistair Cormack's complex study provides a corrective to these misleading characterisations by analysing the tools Yeats and Joyce themselves used to challenge representation in the postcolonial era. Despite their very different histories, Cormack suggests, these two writers can be seen as allies in their insistence on the heresy of the imagination. Reinvigorating and politicising the history of ideas as a powerful medium for studying literature, he shows that Joyce and Yeats independently challenged a linearity and materialism they identified with empire. Both celebrated Ireland as destabilising the accepted forms of thought and the accepted means of narrating the nation. Thus, 'unreadable' modernist works such as Finnegans Wake and A Vision must be understood as attempts to reconceptualise history in a literally postcolonial period.

Suspicious Readings of Joyce's "Dubliners"

Suspicious Readings of Joyce's "Dubliners"

Margot Norris

University of Pennsylvania Press
2003
sidottu
Because the stories in James Joyce's Dubliners seem to function as models of fiction, they are able to stand in for fiction in general in their ability to make the operation of texts explicit and visible. Joyce's stories do this by provoking skepticism in the face of their storytelling. Their narrative unreliabilities-produced by strange gaps, omitted scenes, and misleading narrative prompts-arouse suspicion and oblige the reader to distrust how and why the story is told. As a result, one is prompted to look into what is concealed, omitted, or left unspoken, a quest that often produces interpretations in conflict with what the narrative surface suggests about characters and events. Margot Norris's strategy in her analysis of the stories in Dubliners is to refuse to take the narrative voice for granted and to assume that every authorial decision to include or exclude, or to represent in a particular way, may be read as motivated. Suspicious Readings of Joyce's Dubliners examines the text for counterindictions and draws on the social context of the writing in order to offer readings from diverse theoretical perspectives. Suspicious Readings of Joyce's Dubliners devotes a chapter to each of the fifteen stories in Dubliners and shows how each confronts the reader with an interpretive challenge and an intellectual adventure. Its readings of "An Encounter," "Two Gallants," "A Painful Case," "A Mother," "The Boarding House," and "Grace" reconceive the stories in wholly novel ways-ways that reveal Joyce's writing to be even more brilliant, more exciting, and more seriously attuned to moral and political issues than we had thought.

The German Joyce

The German Joyce

Robert Weninger; Sebastian D. G. Knowles

University Press of Florida
2012
sidottu
In August 1919, a production of James Joyce's Exiles was mounted at the Munich Schauspielhaus and quickly fell due to harsh criticism. The reception marked the beginning of a dynamic association between Joyce, German-language writers, and literary critics. It is this relationship that Robert Weninger analyzes in The German Joyce. Opening a new dimension of Joycean scholarship, this book provides the premier study of Joyce's impact on German-language literature and literary criticism in the twentieth century. The opening section follows Joyce's linear intrusion from the 1910s to the 1990s by focusing on such prime moments as the first German translation of Ulysses, Joyce's influence on the Marxist Expressionism debate, and the Nazi blacklisting of Joyce's work. Utilizing this historical reception as a narrative backdrop, Weninger then presents Joyce's horizontal diffusion into German culture. Weninger succeeds in illustrating both German readers' great attraction to Joyce's work as well as Joyce's affinity with some of the great German masters, from Goethe to Rilke, Brecht, and Thomas Mann. He argues that just as Shakespeare was a model of linguistic exuberance for Germans in the eighteenth century, Joyce became the epitome of poetic inspiration in the twentieth. A volume in The Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sebastian D. G. Knowles

The Poetry of James Joyce Reconsidered

The Poetry of James Joyce Reconsidered

University Press of Florida
2015
nidottu
To many, James Joyce is simply the greatest novelist of the twentieth century. Scholars have pored over every minutia of his public and private life from utility bills to deeply personal letters in search of new insights into his life and work. Yet, for the most part, they have paid scant attention to the two volumes of poetry he published.The nine contributors to The Poetry of James Joyce Reconsideredconvincingly challenge the critical consensus that Joyce's poetry is inferior to his prose. They reveal how his poems provide entries into Joyce's most personal and intimate thoughts and ideas. They also demonstrate that Joyce's poetic explorations - of the nature of knowledge, sexual intimacy, the changing quality of love, the relations between writing and music, and the religious dimensions of the human experience - were fundamental to his development as a writer of prose.This exciting new work is sure to spark new interest in Joyce's poetry, and will become an essential and indispensable resource for students and scholars of his life and work.

Nonlinear Temporality in Joyce and Walcott

Nonlinear Temporality in Joyce and Walcott

Sean Seeger

CRC Press Inc
2017
sidottu
Nonlinear Temporality in Joyce and Walcott is the first dedicated comparative study of James Joyce and Derek Walcott. The book examines the ways in which both Joyce’s fiction and Walcott’s poetry articulate a nonlinear conception of time with radical cultural and political implications. For Joyce and Walcott equally, the book argues, it is only by reconceiving time in this way that it becomes possible to envisage a means of escape from what Joyce calls “force, hatred, history” and what Walcott calls the “madness of history seen as sequential time”. A starting point for the comparisons drawn between Joyce and Walcott is their relationship to Homer. Joyce’s Ulysses is in one respect a rewriting of Homer’s Odyssey; Walcott’s Omeros stands in an analogous relationship to the Iliad. This book argues that these acts of rewriting, far from being instances of influence, intertexuality, or straightforward repetition, exemplify Joyce and Walcott’s complex stance, not just toward literary history, but toward the idea of history as such. The book goes on to demonstrate how an enhanced appreciation of the role of nonlinear temporality in Joyce and Walcott can help to illuminate numerous other aspects of their work.

The Anti-Modernism of Joyce's a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

The Anti-Modernism of Joyce's a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Weldon Thornton

Syracuse University Press
1994
nidottu
In this study of Joyce's ""Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"", the author considers the important psychological and cultural issues arising in the novel. He argues that although ""Portrait"" may be a classic text of literary modernism, it is a fundamentally antimodernist work. To demonstrate this reading, Thornton first provides three contexts for reading the novel: the issue of defining modernism, especially the philosophical roots and implications of the modernist view of the self; Joyce's literary aims; and the genre of the ""Bildungsroman"". The novel itself is then examined in detail, with the focus on its overall structure, the verbal presentation of Stephen's milieu, and the uses of motif and allusion. Thornton's comprehensive study offers readers a cultural critique and intellectual history of ""Portrait"", and aims to provide a major basis for discussion of the novel.

My Life and Dr.Joyce Brothers

My Life and Dr.Joyce Brothers

Kelly Cherry

The University of Alabama Press
2002
nidottu
Nina is a Virginia belle, now out shoveling Wisconsin snow. Divorced, childless, and middle-aged, she's alone again, having been recently left by the man she loves. She has a cute, cuddly dog for company, but what she really wants is a baby - a desire magnified by the insistent ticks of her biological clock - and the ""right man"" to father it. She consults the gurus of self-help for guidance. In so doing, she must confront an old ghost - that of family incest and the handsome, brilliant, ruined brother whose Svengalian pull has dominated her life. When it was first published in 1990, My Life and Dr. Joyce Brothers received glowing reviews for its freshness and mastery. Alison Lurie praised it as ""a witty and moving account of what it's like to be a woman in America today, when the promise to 'Have It All' has become a demand."" The Washington Post stated, ""so honest are the passion and pain...so complete the world created...Historics are revealed with a well-timed line, ironies distilled to a moment."" And the Los Angeles Times Book Review commented that rather than becoming a sad tale of the battle between the sexes, this book is ""far too witty, too savvy, too lyrical and compassionate to resort to bitterness."" In My Life and Dr. Joyce Brothers, Kelly Cherry writes with lightness and grace about some of life's most serious subjects - the nature of family, aging parents, alcoholism, sexual violation. As her brave heroine journeys from self-blame to self-help, a beam of humor lights her way. How Nina finds her answers - and triumphs in a way she couldn't possibly have predicted - makes this a fascinating story alive with joy and with sorrow.
