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...

Joyce s After the Race is a seemingly simple tale, historically unloved by critics. Yet when magnified and dismantled, the story yields astounding political, philosophic, and moral intricacy.In Before Daybreak, Coilin Owens shows that After the Race is much more than a story about Dublin at the time of the 1903 Gordon Bennett Cup Race: in reality, it is a microcosm of some of the issues most central to Joycean scholarship. These issues include large-scale historical concerns in this case, radical nationalism and the centennial of Robert Emmet s rebellion. Owens also explains...

Challenges the unhelpful polarization of Lawrence and Joyce in much twentieth-century literary criticism and offers intriguing alternatives to what is surely a reductive approach to the achievements of both writers. Fiona Becket, author of The Complete Critical Guide to D. H. Lawrence A groundbreaking collection. Sexuality, censorship, publishing, and rivalry are all treated with a fresh eye; cutting-edge archival research is brought to the fore; and new perspectives such as ecocriticism are among the many highlights. Susan Mooney, author of The Artistic Censoring of...

A remarkable work in three areas: the field of ecocriticism, to which it contributes a huge amount of historical and bibliographic information; the practice of genetic criticism in Joyce studies; and the exploration of ecological interests, themes, allusions, arguments, and manifestations in Finnegans Wake. Margot Norris, editor of the Norton Critical Edition of Joyce's Dubliners A terrifically useful study. Makes the text shimmer with new possibilities by alerting the reader to Joyce s interest in hydro-engineering, green belts, meteorology, polar exploration, and much...

As Gillespie combines national, geographical, and historical contexts with close readings of Joyce s works, the theme of exile takes on unexpected nuances, from spiritual displacements in Joyce s neglected play Exiles to the trials of dealing with a foreign language in Finnegans Wake. Margot Norris, editor of Dubliners Casts significant new light on Joyce s writings by bringing out memorable ways in which the literal experience of exile enabled Joyce to recast retrospectively the exilic quality of living in Ireland, not simply as alienation but as a mixture of rancor...

A brilliantly collaged snapshot of the variety and wealth of literary criticism, and Joyce studies, today.

Patrick O Neill, author of Impossible Joyce: Finnegans Wakes Each of the scholars involved is at the top of his and her game. Their commitment and excitement about the task at hand is evident on virtually every page. This book makes...

"Fundamentally alters the received wisdom which tends to award Paris a far more central place in the making of Joyce the modernist."--John McCourt, author of The Years of Bloom: James Joyce in Trieste 1904-1920 While there has been extensive research on the effect of Dublin and other European urban centers such as Trieste and Paris on James Joyce and his works, few Joyceans have explored the impact of London on the trajectory of his literary career. In Up to Maughty London, Eleni Loukopoulou offers the first sustained account of Joyce's engagement with the imperial...

"A capacious, generative, and important collection with far-ranging implications for Joyce studies and for our understanding of literature's relationship to law."--Ravit Reichman, author of The Affective Life of Law: Legal Modernism and the Literary Imagination "Gives us a new map of the busy intersection of Joyce and law. This volume's contributors rise to the challenge, taking on everything from laws of marriage, immigration, and finance to regimes of intellectual property, libel, and obscenity."--Paul K. Saint-Amour, author of Tense Future: Modernism, Total War, Encyclopedic...
