Critical Insights: James Joyce

Albert Wachtel

4.9/5 (29575 ratings)

Description:From the beginning of his literary career, James Joyce was the most distinctive figure in the renaissance that occurred in Irish cultural life after the death of Charles Stewart Parnell. From the first, he set himself to liberate Ireland, not by returning to Celtic myths or the Gaelic language and folklore, but by Europeanizing its cultural institutions. His early stories are an exorcism of the spirit of paralysis he felt about himself in the Dublin of his youth. As he gained detachment from these obstacles and knowledge of his own capacities as a writer of prose fiction, he produced two of the undisputed masterworks of modern literature, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses, as well as a final work that is perhaps beyond criticism, Finnegans Wake. Edited by Albert Wachtel, Professor of Creative Studies and English at Pitzer College and Claremont Graduate University, this volume in the Critical Insights series presents a variety of new essays on the celebrated Irish writer. For readers who are studying the works of Joyce for the first time, a biographical sketch relates the details of his life and several essays survey the authors critical reception, explore its cultural and historical contexts, situate Joyce among his contemporaries, and review key themes in his work. Readers seeking a deeper understanding of the writer can then move on to other original essays that explore a bevy of topics, such as the contextualization of Joyces theories of literature against contemporary writers and movements, Joyces deployment of the animal in his works, and the authors relationship with Catholicism. Among the contributors are Maureen OConnor, Tara Prescott, Hans Peter Wagner, and Edmund L. Epstein. Rounding out the volume are a chronology of Joyces life and a list of his principle publications as well as a bibliography for readers seeking to study this fascinating author in greater depth.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
