Abstract

In a radical new reading of Ulysses, the author explores James Joyce's twentieth-century epic as a work of Irish literature, arguing that previous criticism has distorted our understanding of Ulysses by focusing on Joyce's English and Continental literary source alone. Challenging conventional views that Joyce rejected the agendas of Irish cultural nationalists and the Irish literary revival, Tymoczko demonstrates that Ulysses "translates" Irish imagery, myth, genres, and literary modes into English. Her argument is supported by extensive research showing that Joyce was exceptionally well informed about Irish literature through popular culture, his study of the Irish language, and his specialized reading. For the first time, Joyce emerges as an author caught between the English and Irish literary traditions: one who like later post-colonial writers, remakes English-language literature with his own country's rich literary heritage. The author's exacting scholarship makes The Irish "Ulysses" required reading for Joyce scholars, while the theoretical implications of her argument - for such issues as canon formation, the constitutive role of criticism in literary reception, and the interface of literary cultures - will make this an important book for literary theorists. This is a work of scholarship that will change our understanding of one of the century's greatest writers.

Abstract

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 that identify repressed elements in Joyce's writings and examine how psychic and cultural repressions persistently surface in his texts. Contributors include Joseph A. Boone, Marilyn L. Brownstein, Jay Clayton, Laura Doyle, Susan Stanford Friedman, Christine Froula, Ellen Carol Jones, Alberto Moreirias, Richard Pearce, and Robert Spoo.
