  • 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.

    ‘Expert diagnosis has averted still another tragedy’ Misreading & the Paranoia of Expertise in The Third Policeman Paul Fagan University of Vienna One of the most persistent comedic devices in Cruiskeen Lawn is the spectacle of misreading. Predominantly, the column’s thematic concern with misreading is staged through Myles’s primary mode of pedantry masquerading as connoisseurship. Accordingly, when regular letter-writer Oscar Love publicly aired his grievances about local traffic problems to the editor of The Irish Times in December 1950, the following lines in Love’s letter caught Myles’s eye: ‘Astride the zebra crossing at Main street, Blackrock, every day there are two or three delivery vans waiting for long periods. It is, therefore, impossible for pedestrians to use it.’ Myles responds earnestly: There is, of course, a fair amount to be said for the zebra crossing. Those cunning animals, who used camouflage long before it was put on tanks, should be afforded a safe and defined means of crossing busy thoroughfares. But Mr Love seems to me to postulate a rather extravagant concept. He seems discontented with the simple notion of a zebra crossing at Main street (sic), Blackrock. ‘Astride the zebra,’ he earnestly insists, ‘crossing at the Main street, Blackrock, every day there are two or three delivery vans waiting for long periods. It is, therefore, impossible for pedestrians to use it.’ I do not quite see why an indeterminate number of vans must be placed astride a zebra crossing at Blackrock for long periods. I cannot quite grasp the implied complaint that these vans inhibit the use by pedestrians of the said zebras.

  • 2 Weeks in the Life of James Joyce
    GENETIC JOYCE STUDIES – Issue 13 (Spring 2013) 2 weeks in the life of James Joyce Robbert-Jan Henkes The hotel was noisy, dear, dark and dirty. Family hotel it was called and no wonder, holybones of Saint-Martin! Families running in and out, carted in wheelbarrows through the corridors, a child crying in the room next-door. Slamming doors and vibrating windows. Still: classy, especially the front, and the price. Oui oui, the Victoria Palace Hotel, situated in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Montparnasse, with its knowledgeable staff, its air conditioning in public areas (probably referring to the draughty windows and doors), its currency exchange and its elevator (lift), that was continuously grinding up and down outside his door making a helluva racket, had been a landmark on the Left Bank since 1913. There are a great many attractions nearby, including Tour Montparnasse, Luxembourg Palace, Louvre Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral. Vaut le détour indeed, and a big détour preferably. How could he work like that? On the other hand: he had always worked best surrounded by honest to God activity. The noise of life. In the soundtight tomb that Larbaud had offered him, he wasn’t able to do a thing. – Giorgio, figlio mio, what’s the news? Did you find us a flat? – No babbo. Tenor. Just like his dad and granddad. No way a bass or baritone. They would find out at the Schola Cantorum soon enough. – Do you know what to say? – Yes babbo. Je cherche un appartement de cinq ou six pièces, trois chambres, salon, salle à manger, eccetera e così via.

  • COPING with IOWCE Essays from the Copenhagen Symposium
    COPING WITH IOWCE essays from the Copenhagen Symposium edited by Morris Beja & Shari Benstock COPING WITH JOYCE Essays from the Copenhagen Symposium EDITED BY Morris Beja and Shari Benstock Coping with Joyce brings together eighteen scholars who contributed to making the 1986 International Joyce Symposium a land­ mark in Joycean studies. Their diverse ap­ proaches to the intricate Joyce corpus, from Dubliners and Exiles to Ulysses and Fin­ negans Wake, reflect the important changes that have taken place in the scholarly world during recent years, as traditional and post- traditional theorists and critics have found in James Joyce a major area of investigation and interpretation. Five major addresses of­ fer a litany of perspectives: historical, bio­ graphical, cultural, thematic, linguistic, textual, and sexual. These perspectives are further developed in the subsequent critical studies. Coping with Joyce provides a cross-section of the latest in James Joyce studies, the most recent views of several well-established Joyce scholars and the work of some newer critics in the field. Morris Beja is Professor of English at the Ohio State University and author of several works of literary criticism, including Epi­ phany in the Modern Novel. Shari Benstock is Professor of English at the University of Miami (Florida) and author of several books, including Women of the Left Bank: Paris 1900-1940.

The exact time of Joyce’s birth was one of the last things uttered by his father, John Stanislaus Joyce, before dying in December 1931. His son needed the information back in Paris so that an astrologer could properly read his horoscope. Joyce assigned a mystical significance to birthdays for his entire life. He pushed a printer in Dijon so hard to have a copy of Ulysses published on his fortieth birthday that Joyce scholars have spent the past eighty years arguing over what the final edition should look like. After slipping into a deep bout of depression while writing Finnegans Wake, Joyce considered handing the project over to another Irish writer because they shared the same birthday. Joyce originally planned to publish Finnegans Wake on his father’s birthday as a token of filial affection. He missed the deadline. An advance copy was delivered to his own doorstep on February 2, 1939: Joyce was fifty-seven years old. Although born and raised in Cork, John Joyce inherited some money from his father’s properties and ended up in Dublin, where he met Joyce’s future mother, Mary (May) Jane Murray. Together they had ten children (four sons, six daughters, and three miscarriages), and John Joyce supported his family for the first decade or so with a position as a tax collector.

Deposit Guide Contact: email “What can’t be coded can be decorded” Reading Writing Performing Finnegans Wake Oliver Rory Thomas Evans Phd Thesis School of Arts, Birkbeck College, University of London (2016) 2 3 This thesis examines the ways in which performances of James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939) navigate the boundary between reading and writing. I consider the extent to which performances enact alternative readings of Finnegans Wake, challenging notions of competence and understanding; and by viewing performance as a form of writing I ask whether Joyce’s composition process can be remembered by its recomposition into new performances. These perspectives raise questions about authority and archivisation, and I argue that performances of Finnegans Wake challenge hierarchical and institutional forms of interpretation. By appropriating Joyce’s text through different methodologies of reading and writing I argue that these performances come into contact with a community of ghosts and traces which haunt its composition. In chapter one I argue that performance played an important role in the composition and early critical reception of Finnegans Wake and conduct an overview of various performances which challenge the notion of a ‘Joycean competence’ or encounter the text through radical recompositions of its material.
