  • PHILIP ROTH and the STRUGGLE of MODERN FICTION by JACK
    PHILIP ROTH AND THE STRUGGLE OF MODERN FICTION by JACK FRANCIS KNOWLES A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) July 2020 © Jack Francis Knowles, 2020 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the dissertation entitled: Philip Roth and The Struggle of Modern Fiction in partial fulfillment of the requirements submitted by Jack Francis Knowles for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Examining Committee: Ira Nadel, Professor, English, UBC Supervisor Jeffrey Severs, Associate Professor, English, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Michael Zeitlin, Associate Professor, English, UBC Supervisory Committee Member Lisa Coulthard, Associate Professor, Film Studies, UBC University Examiner Adam Frank, Professor, English, UBC University Examiner ii ABSTRACT “Philip Roth and The Struggle of Modern Fiction” examines the work of Philip Roth in the context of postwar modernism, tracing evolutions in Roth’s shifting approach to literary form across the broad arc of his career. Scholarship on Roth has expanded in both range and complexity over recent years, propelled in large part by the critical esteem surrounding his major fiction of the 1990s. But comprehensive studies of Roth’s development rarely stray beyond certain prominent subjects, homing in on the author’s complicated meditations on Jewish identity, a perceived predilection for postmodern experimentation, and, more recently, his meditations on the powerful claims of the American nation. This study argues that a preoccupation with the efficacies of fiction—probing its epistemological purchase, questioning its autonomy, and examining the shaping force of its contexts of production and circulation— roots each of Roth’s major phases and drives various innovations in his approach.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Montresor: Joyce's Jewish Stew: The Alimentary Lists in Ulysses Joyce's Jewish Stew: The Alimentary Lists in Ulysses by JAYE BERMAN MONTRESOR N THEIR PUN-FILLED ARTICLE, "Towards an Interpretation ofUlysses: Metonymy I and Gastronomy: A Bloom with a Stew," an equally whimsical pair ofcritics (who prefer to remain pseudonymous) assert that "the key to the work lies in gastronomy," that "Joyce's overriding concern was to abolish the dietary laws ofthe tribes ofIsrael," and conclude that "the book is in fact a stew! ... Ulysses is a recipe for bouillabaisse" (Longa and Brevis 5-6). Like "Longa" and "Brevis'"interpretation, James Joyce's tone is often satiric, and this is especially to be seen in his handling ofLeopold Bloom's ambivalent orality as a defining aspect of his Jewishness. While orality is an anti-Semitic assumption, the source ofBloom's oral nature is to be found in his Irish Catholic creator. This can be seen, for example, in Joyce's letter to his brother Stanislaus, penned shortly after running off with Nora Barnacle in 1904, where we see in Joyce's attention to mealtimes the need to present his illicit sexual relationship in terms of domestic routine: We get out ofbed at nine and Nora makes chocolate.

    Ulysses in Paradise: Joyce’s Dialogues with Milton by RENATA D. MEINTS ADAIL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English Studies School of English, Drama, American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham October 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis considers the imbrications created by James Joyce in his writing with the work of John Milton, through allusions, references and verbal echoes. These imbrications are analysed in light of the concept of ‘presence’, based on theories of intertextuality variously proposed by John Shawcross, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, and Eelco Runia. My analysis also deploys Gumbrecht’s concept of stimmung in order to explain how Joyce incorporates a Miltonic ‘atmosphere’ that pervades and enriches his characters and plot. By using a chronological approach, I show the subtlety of Milton’s presence in Joyce’s writing and Joyce’s strategy of weaving it into the ‘fabric’ of his works, from slight verbal echoes in Joyce’s early collection of poems, Chamber Music, to a culminating mass of Miltonic references and allusions in the multilingual Finnegans Wake.

    THE THEME OF CLASS IN JAMES JOYCE'S DUBLINERS by David Glyndwr Clee B.A., University of British Columbia, 1963 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of ENGLISH We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May, 1965 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that per• mission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publi• cation of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of FJlglish The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date June k, 1965 ABSTRACT There is evidence throughout the stories, and in Joyce's letters, to show that Dubliners should be considered as a single entity rather than as a series of unconnected short stories. This thesis examines Joyce's presentation of Dublin's middle class as a unifying principle underlying the whole work. Joyce believed that his city was in the grip of a life-denying "paralysis", and this thesis studies his attempt in Dubliners to relate that paralysis to those attitudes towards experience which his Dubliners hold in c ommon. The stories in Dubliners are grouped to form a progression from childhood through adolescence to maturity and public life.

  • Theorists of the Modernist Novel: James Joyce, Dorothy Richardson, Virginia Woolf
    THEORISTS OF THE MODERNIST NOVEL In the early twentieth century the modernist novel exploded literary conventions and expectations, challenging representations of reality, consciousness and iden- tity.These novels were not simply creative masterpieces but also crucial articula- tions of revolutionary developments in critical thought. In this volume Deborah Parsons traces the developing modernist aesthetic in the thought and writings of James Joyce, Dorothy Richardson and Virginia Woolf. Considering cultural, social and personal influences upon the three writers and con- nections between their theories, Parsons pays particular attention to their work on: • forms of realism • the representation of character and consciousness • gender and the novel • concepts of time and history. An understanding of these three thinkers is fundamental to a grasp of modernism, making this an indispensable guide for students of modernist thought. It is also essential reading for those who wish to understand debates about the genre of the novel or the nature of literary expression which were given a new impetus by Joyce, Richardson and Woolf’s pioneering experiments within the genre of the novel. Deborah Parsons is a senior lecturer and chair of postgraduate programmes at the University of Birmingham, UK. Her principal interests are in Modernism and visual and urban culture. ROUTLEDGE CRITICAL THINKERS Series Editor: Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London Routledge Critical Thinkers is a series of accessible introductions to key fig- ures in contemporary critical thought. With a unique focus on historical and intellectual contexts, the vol- umes in this series examine important theorists’: • significance • motivation • key ideas and their sources • impact on other thinkers.

  • The Unfinished Business of Philip Roth
    The Unfinished Business of Philip Roth Ira Nadel While the complete works of Philip Roth exist in ten volumes from the Library of America and the majority of his novels remain in print as trade paperbacks, we lack the complete story of his life. This was a problem for Roth, who spent his final years outlining his life story. Eager to rebut Claire Bloom’s 1996 memoir, Leaving a Doll’s House, Roth hired a biographer, Ross Miller, but the arrangement proved unsatisfactory. By 2012, he’d chosen a replacement, preparing a series of lengthy documents showing exactly how he wanted his life presented. His story would have an ending, but it would be one he wrote. As the narrator in Alan Lelchuk’s satirical novel Between his “retirement,” in 2010, and his death, on May about Roth, Ziff: A Life? (2003) asks, “Can Ziff have it 22, 2018, Roth prepared file after file for his new biogra- both ways?” Roth emphatically answered “yes.” pher Blake Bailey, each with a memorandum on how to read and use the material.

  • James Joyce: a Biography
    Published on Great Writers Inspire (http://writersinspire.org) Home > James Joyce: A Biography James Joyce: A Biography James Augustine Joyce, the eldest surviving son of John Stanislaus Joyce and Mary Jane ('May') Joyce, was born in Dublin on 2 February 1882. He attended Clongowes Wood College, a Jesuit boys' school in County Kildare, until his father lost his job as a Rates Collector in 1891. Around the same time, Joyce took 'Aloysius' as his confirmation name. After a brief spell at the Christian Brothers School, all of the Joyce brothers entered Belvedere College, a Jesuit boys' day school; fortunately, the school fees were waived. In 1894, with the Joyces' finances dwindling further, the family moved house for the fourth time since Joyce's birth. They also sold off their last remaining Cork property. Despite increasing poverty and upheaval, Joyce managed to win a prize for his excellent exam results and wrote an essay on Ulysses which, arguably, sowed the seeds for Joyce's 1922 masterpiece of the same name. In 1896 Joyce was made prefect of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a devotional society. However, he was not as pure as he seemed; Joyce claimed to have begun his ?sexual life? later that year, at the age of fourteen.[1] Education In 1898, Joyce began studying modern languages at the Royal University (now University College, Dublin). During his time at university Joyce published several papers on literature, history, and politics. He also enjoyed visits to the music hall.[2] Joyce became particularly interested in the work of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen and Irish writer W.
