'Strandentwining Cable' explores the works of two of the most admired and mythologized masters of nineteenth- and twentieth-century prose: Gustave Flaubert (1822-1880) and James Joyce (1882-1941). This book is a study of their literary relationship. In six chronologically ordered chapters it carries out a detailed intertextual analysis of Joyce's engagement with Flaubert over the entire course of his writing career. In doing so it delineates the contours and uncovers the effects of one of the most crucially formative artistic relationships of Joyce's life. Travelling through Flaubert's native Normandy in 1925, on a holiday trip which bears all the appearances of a pilgrimage journey, Joyce acknowledged to himself - in a private notebook devoted to the preparation of Finnegans Wake - that 'Gustave Flaubert can rest having made me.' The book identifies and interprets the traces of Joyce's responses to Flaubert from his early work through Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Exiles, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake. Drawing on extensive bibliographical, archival, and manuscript evidence, it sheds light on the timing and circumstances of Joyce's reading of such Flaubertian masterpieces as Madame Bovary and L'Education sentimentale , as well as of lesser known works such as Salammbô, La Tentation de saint Antoine, Trois Contes, Bouvard et Pécuchet, and the Dictionnaire des Idées Reçues. Examining letters, notebooks, drafts, and published texts, it shows that in all his creative endeavours Joyce uses Flaubert's writing to think through the dynamics and implications of any text's inevitable relations to other texts, and argues that these reflections helped crystallize his own sense of literature as a dense intertextual web of 'strandentwining cables'. Ultimately, this study contends that the ever more radical and self-conscious nature of the citational methods Joyce adopted and adapted from Flaubert paved the way for the emergence of intertextual theory in the 1960s.

[An] impressive body of carefully researched empirical evidence and a battery of admirable close readings ... one finds much to admire in Baron's clear style, her attention to detail, and the cogency of her argument ... Strandentwining Cable is an elegant and significant work. It is essential reading for students of Joyce and, more broadly, those interested in the development of the novel within the international context of modernism. (John Bolin, Notes and Queries)
Strandentwining Cable is a tremendously stimulating book. It has all the qualities Flaubertian and Joycean scholars (especially comparatists) will appreciate. It is meticulously researched, displays a profound knowledge of both writers, and presents critical arguments in a lucid and coherent manner, qualities which make it an immensely enjoyable read. (Brigitte Le Juez, The Review of English Studies)
Strandentwining Cable: Joyce, Flaubert, and Intertextuality is not only an intertextual study of Joyce and Flaubert. It is a book that teaches scholars how to carry out research in comparative literature. (Guillermo Sanz, Papers on Joyce)
Strandentwining Cable: Joyce, Flaubert, and Intertextuality ... proves to be the indispensable guide to the astounding and persistent impact of the nineteenth-century master on Joyce's writing ... by the close of her brilliant new book, it becomes clear that Flaubert occupied a place in Joyce's literary firmament perhaps the equal of Ibsen ... Strandentwining Cable is an important achievement ... If in Flaubert Joyce found a cord flung toward the future which he twined with countless others before passing it on, in Strandentwining Cable Scarlett Baron picks up these threads and weaves from them her own tightly wrought web. (Ronan Crowley, James Joyce Literary Supplement)
Scarlett Baron's exhaustive study comes at a time when we are definitely in need of a new book-length appraisal of the role of Gustave Flaubert in Joyce's works ... Baron is a magical midwife in her own right ... interrogating the complex questions of paternity, authorship, and intertextuality ... Baron's book is so elegantly written, so rich and varied, so compelling in some of the illuminating close readings and unexpected but totally cogent parallels it draws, that it would be futile to try to provide a thorough account of it, unless I could, like Bouvard and Pécuchet, just copy it word by word. (Valérie Bénéjam, James Joyce Quarterly)
