Against Joyce: Ulysses, Authorship, and the Authority of the Reader Sophie Catherine Corser Against Joyce: Ulysses, Authorship, and the Authority of the Reader Sophie Catherine Corser Goldsmiths, University of London PhD in English 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Sophie Corser, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 3 To David and Alice 4 Acknowledgements I wish to first thank Isobel Hurst and Stephanie Nelson, my classicist guides: to the former for an invaluable tip and fantastic early guidance, and the latter for her encouragement and understanding shared over my Homeric research, over email, and over excellent food and wine. I am grateful to numerous excellent Joycean friends met at symposia, conferences, and summer schools – particularly several Joycean women who have offered encouragement and inspiration in both work and life. Victoria Leveque, Stephanie Boland, Katie Mischler and many others whose thesis writing coincided with my own: thank you for providing space for laughter in intense environments. Thanks go also to those who so generously read some of what follows: especially to Katie Mischler, Jacob McGuinn, Stephanie Boland, Annabel Corser, and Stephanie Nelson. Many other friends and colleagues helped in some way (whether knowingly or not) – but I’d like to single out Richard Bolley in the English and Comparative Literature department at Goldsmiths, for providing the essential: places in which to write. And to the Joycean woman who started it all: Lucia Boldrini, in whose Ulysses lectures I first sat and marvelled many years ago. I do not quite know how to thank you for supervising my work from BA to PhD, for the support you have given, and endless understanding you have shown. It means a very great deal to me. I must give big, sloppy thank yous and love to the people who had relatively little to do with the content of this work, but so much to do with its getting done. To my closest friends Phoebe and Mindy, who know they have supported me through more than the challenges of hard work. And to my family: my parents, to whose memories this thesis is dedicated, and to Annabel, Elisabeth, and Ben. Burak Cetindag deserves, finally, a special thank you – for our home, and for not letting me give up. 5 Abstract This thesis considers James Joyce’s Ulysses as a text that plays with its own relationships to the author and the reader. It draws out the complexities and contradictions of a Joycean – and Barthesian – sense of ‘play’, by exploring the activity of reading prompted by the novel’s intertextuality and narrative. Alongside such investigation, I trace the history of approaches to the author within and without Joyce studies – to unravel how reading Ulysses interacts with such shifting sand. Through a methodology of ‘reading reading’, I analyse overlooked layers of Homeric orality and scholarship in ‘Eumaeus’, the development of Joyce studies from the 1920s to the present, modern understandings of the concept of the author, irreverent approaches to biography, and how reading ‘Calypso’ and ‘Wandering Rocks’ enacts a clash of readerly and authorial authority. This results in an unusual, looping structure, alternating analysis of Ulysses, Joyce studies, and other texts: exhibiting the impossibility of separately discussing author, reader, text, or – as chapters progress – critic. The thesis asks how one can place limits on where readings of Ulysses take us; how to discuss anti-authorialism in a field as author-centric as Joyce studies; and how the oft-asserted idea that opposites can be simultaneously true in Ulysses offers a valuable way to approach and query critical and theoretical understandings of how authors, readers, and texts interact. Writing ‘against Joyce’ (resisting, preparing for, leaning on) responds to theoretical and critical approaches and habits that pitch reader against author: that declare the birth of the reader must come at the cost of the author, or give greater currency – however veiled – to an author’s understanding of their text, over a reader’s. Above all else, this thesis proposes that to unpick the author question we should focus our attention on the activity of reading: self-aware, self-interrogative reading. 6 Contents Abbreviations and a note on editions ………………………………………………………...7 Introduction …………………………………………………………………………………8 Part One 1.

Yet this reputation, each reference to it, and every time it persuades a potential reader to take down instead another book from the shelf, constitute indirect readings of James Joyce’s 1922 novel. The text is read as elitist, excessive, difficult, or silly; not for everyone, needlessly complicated, or over-hyped; and all before one glances at its first page. In his short, irreverent 2007 work How to Talk About Books You Haven’t Read, Pierre Bayard notes that not only has he not read Joyce, he furthermore can allude to both Joyce’s texts and his not-reading of them and feel neither shame nor anxiety.1 Bayard perpetuates a reading of Joyce: a reading of his texts via reputation and therefore of what Joyce signifies. Complicated texts, rarely read. Responses such as these – the prerogative of any reader (direct or indirect) – also rely on and perform readings of Joyce as an author. As an author of such a difficult, complicated, ‘important’ text as Ulysses Joyce must be extraordinary. Or is it that as a novel by a famous, canonical genius, Ulysses must be remarkable, complex, and out of reach? How does one separate the author’s infamy from that of the text? This same quandary is enacted by actual readings of Joyce’s texts: to what extent is our reading of Ulysses informed by how we view Joyce, and how much is our idea of Joyce dictated by what we find in the novel? In order to respond to this, and ask why it matters, we must pull at the relationships between author, reader, and text – an endeavour which has fallen out of fashion in both Joyce studies and the wider literary world. It has been fifty years since theorist and critic Roland Barthes proclaimed ‘The Death of the Author’ and ‘the birth of the reader’ (‘DA’, 148); the complex response to and influence of his provocative 1967 essay continues, though interest in it has somewhat waned. Though it is, for example, now difficult to completely escape the idea that the author no longer controls the correct interpretation of a text, literary culture continues to be the author-centric world Barthes describes and decries in his essay.

Paper (ISBN 978-0-674- 06062-3) $24.95. his is a linguistic study of a1h6s and related words in epic, particularly the Odyssey but also the Iliad. Bonifazi considers first Thow a11T6s and EKE'ivos are contrasted when they refer to Odysseus, then how all the various av- words are similar. Her main tool is pragmatics, building on work by many scholars on discourse grammar in both Greek and Latin. Because she goes through a lot of basic background in this area of linguistics, with a copious bibliography, 25 pages, the book seems accessible to non-linguist classicists, though this is not really an introduction to pragmatics. In the introduction, Bonifazi says that "the general aim of this work is to contribute to an update of the grammatical accounts of some words in accord with notions and concepts from contemporary linguistics that are applicable to Homer" (10), observing that this kind of study adds precision to our understanding of pronouns, particles, and similar words, and that attention to the dialogue context can "shed more light on the standpoint of either the author or the internal characters" (11).

  • Mapping Topographies in the Anglo and German Narratives of Joseph Conrad, Anna Seghers, James Joyce, and Uwe Johnson
    MAPPING TOPOGRAPHIES IN THE ANGLO AND GERMAN NARRATIVES OF JOSEPH CONRAD, ANNA SEGHERS, JAMES JOYCE, AND UWE JOHNSON DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Kristy Rickards Boney, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by: Professor Helen Fehervary, Advisor Professor John Davidson Professor Jessica Prinz Advisor Graduate Program in Professor Alexander Stephan Germanic Languages and Literatures Copyright by Kristy Rickards Boney 2006 ABSTRACT While the “space” of modernism is traditionally associated with the metropolis, this approach leaves unaddressed a significant body of work that stresses non-urban settings. Rather than simply assuming these spaces to be the opposite of the modern city, my project rejects the empty term space and instead examines topographies, literally meaning the writing of place. Less an examination of passive settings, the study of topography in modernism explores the action of creating spaces—either real or fictional which intersect with a variety of cultural, social, historical, and often political reverberations. The combination of charged elements coalesce and form a strong visual, corporeal, and sensory-filled topography that becomes integral to understanding not only the text and its importance beyond literary studies. My study pairs four modernists—two writing in German and two in English: Joseph Conrad and Anna Seghers and James Joyce and Uwe Johnson. All writers, having experienced displacement through exile, used topographies in their narratives to illustrate not only their understanding of history and humanity, but they also wrote narratives which concerned a larger global ii community.

  • Eumaeus, Evander, and Augustus: Dionysius and Virgil on Noble Simplicity*
    Eumaeus, Evander, and Augustus: Dionysius and Virgil on Noble Simplicity* Casper C. de Jonge Introduction Eumaeus might not be the first character to come to mind when we think of Homeric epic as Princes’ Mirror. To be sure, Eumaeus is of royal descent: his father was Ctesius, son of Ormenus, king of the island Syria.1 But Eumaeus is also a slave: as a child he was sold to Laertes and, having been raised together with Odysseus’ sister Ctimene, he became the family’s swineherd.2 Eumaeus is one of the lower-status figures to which the Odyssey pays more attention than the Iliad. Like Eurycleia, the other prominent lowly character, Eumaeus is portrayed as a loyal servant. During Odysseus’ absence he takes good care of his master’s animals (Od. 14.5–28, 524–533), although he is defenceless against the suitors, who continually force him to send in pigs for their feasts (Od. 14.17– 20). The detailed description of Eumaeus’ pig-farm (Od. 14.7–22) brings out its modesty in comparison with the luxurious palaces of kings like Menelaus, Alcinous, and Odysseus. But with its vestibule (πρόδομος), courtyard (αὐλή), and defensive wall the farm adequately fulfils its function.3 When Odysseus arrives in Ithaca, Eumaeus gives him hospitality and offers him a double meal (Od. 14.72–111 and 14.410–454) and a bed (Od. 14.454–533), not yet knowing that his guest is actually his master. The next day the host and his guest share * The research for this paper was funded by a grant awarded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (nwo).

    “TWO NOTES IN ONE THERE”: COUNTERPOINT AS PARADIGM IN JAMES JOYCE’S ULYSSES by FRANCES VICTORIA LOVELACE (Under the Direction of Adam Parkes) ABSTRACT In this study of James Joyce’s Ulysses (1922) I discuss the limits and dangers of using analogies between musical and literary works without firmly understanding the musical model that is being brought into comparison with the novel in question. Conversely, I show that a musical paradigm such as counterpoint, if properly defined, can be a very useful method by which to read and understand Joyce, since the syntax of music is as important to (and ever- present within) the world of Ulysses as that of the English language. I demonstrate that a contrapuntal reading of the often-overlooked “Wandering Rocks” episode serves to uncover some darkly ironic questions about Anglo-Irish politics, and that while the fugal structure that Joyce claimed for “Sirens” is a deeply suspect analogy, a reading of the musical notation within the episode leads to a new understanding of Leopold Bloom in relation to his wife, Molly.

    ANCHOR TEXT | EPIC POEM from the Odyssey Homer translated by Robert Fitzgerald Part 2 The Return of Odysseus BACKGROUND The Greek concept of hospitality, xenia, was very important in Greek SCAN FOR culture and plays a role in Odysseus’ tale. Some scholars believe that MULTIMEDIA this value is based on Greek religious belief. Since the Greek gods could take multiple earthly forms, there was always the possibility that the stranger at the door was a god in disguise. Thus, Greeks opened their homes to strangers. In Part 2, as Odysseus returns home, it is clear that this cultural practice has created some problems. “Twenty years gone, and I am back again . .” NOTES Odysseus has finished telling his story to the Phaeacians. The next day, young Phaeacian noblemen conduct him home by ship. He arrives in Ithaca after an absence of twenty years.

    The places in Joyce… Ulysses was published in Paris in 1922 and is set in Dublin like almost all his works. The events unfold over 24 hours, beginning on the morning of Thursday 16th June 1904. Some of the events chronicled in the narrative correspond to actual episodes and occurrences in Joyce's life; his effort was to give a realistic portrait of the life of ordinary people doing ordinary things and living ordinary lives. By portraying these ordinary Dubliners, he succeeded in representing the whole of man's mental, emotional and biological reality and fusing it with the cultural heritage of modern civilization and with reality of the natural world around him. By proposing the topos of the hero- traveller, Joyce proposes a research of the sense of life by the modern man, giving a meaning to the banality of daily routines. The work has 18 chapters which correspond, often approximately and strangely, to episodes in the Homer's book. Martello Tower The James Joyce Tower or Martello Tower is in Sandycove. This is an old castle of XVIII century and was built to defend the coast by Napoleonic army. Here, where there is the Joyce Museum, the author set the First Chapter of his Ulysses. 7 Eccles Street 7 Eccles Street, the address where The Blooms lived, is named in the Fourth Chapter for the first time, when Leopold prepares a breakfast for his wife Molly. Today there is the Mater Private Hospital. Belvedere College Belvedere College is situated in Great Denmark Street. Joyce attended this school from the age of 11 to 16 and set the Ulysses from the chapter 2 to the chapter 4.

  • Billy Joel's Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, MM
    ABSTRACT Fantasies and Delusions: Billy Joel’s Turn and Return to Classical Music Jie Fang Goh, M.M. Mentor: Jean A. Boyd, Ph.D. In 2001, the release of Fantasies and Delusions officially announced Billy Joel’s remarkable career transition from popular songwriting to classical instrumental music composition. Representing Joel’s eclectic aesthetic that transcends genre, this album features a series of ten solo piano pieces that evoke a variety of musical styles, especially those coming from the Romantic tradition. A collaborative effort with classical pianist Hyung-ki Joo, Joel has mentioned that Fantasies and Delusions is the album closest to his heart and spirit. However, compared to Joel’s popular works, it has barely received any scholarly attention. Given this gap in musicological work on the album, this thesis focuses on the album’s content, creative process, and connection with Billy Joel’s life, career, and artistic identity. Through this thesis, I argue that Fantasies and Delusions is reflective of Joel’s artistic identity as an eclectic composer, a melodist, a Romantic, and a Piano Man.
