OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS INTRODUCTION
IN 1922, with Ulysses finally launched and rapidly becoming both a succes de scandale and succes d'estime, a buoyant James Joyce could concentrate his thoughts on his next work. All his fictions had so far been written in different styles, each one a departure: the short stories · of Dubliners, then the bildungsroman A Portrait ofthe Artist as a Young· Man and then a vast comic novel that reinvented realism: Ulysses. So what was there left to do? What genre could be reinvented? By 1924, he had developed the radical innovation: this was not---or not simply-in terms of its genre, but rather in the fundamental field of language itsel£ For the next fourteen years, he would take the material of language and twist it into strange and comical shapes to achieve ends beyond those of everyday usage. There. would be continuities with the earlier work: Ireland and its relation to European politics and to Catholicism; ·Dubliners and their voices, their humour and half-conscious yearnings, and plenty of narrative. But the language would brt,:ak rules of spelling and syntax: words would be glued and fused together to make new hybrid forms. Prose would break out into
\· the rhythms of song. It would be musical and onomatopoeic, able to evoke the sound of thunder or _of someone falling downstairs:

(3.15-17)1 The words could pun on names-so that Shakespeare (maker· of worlds at the Globe theatre) is renamed 'Shapesphere' (295.4); and the Celtic Twilight, the Irish literary movement of the late nineteenth century, is satirically reworked as the 'cu/tic twalette' (344.12). The language~ like Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky, would be thick with what ·Humpty Dumpty in Through the Looking Glass described as portman teau words, looking like nonsense and yet meaningful---often densely packed with sense. The motivation for this alternative langua,ge has mystified readers; some explaining it as aJanguage of the night, of
