9780815630197: Joyce and Reality: The Empirical Strikes Back

Synopsis

In this prequel to his Finnegan's Wake: A Plot Summary , Gordon (English, Connecticut College) argues that Joyce was a realist, but "Joyce's realism was different from ours." Blending new and earlier material, he goes beyond the usual readings of the psychological reality of Joyce's stream-of-consciousness writing in presenting examples of references in his major works that reflect belief in his era's pseudoscience. The subtitle is intended "to lure the cultural studies crowd." Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
