Suzette A. Henke

Opis

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. "
