James Joyce Prof. Christy Burns Classroom: Tucker 213 Office: Tucker 210 Wed English 419.01: James Joyce Prof. Christy Burns Classroom: Tucker 213 Office: Tucker 210 Wed. 3:00-5:30 p.m. Office hours Wed 2-3 e-mail: [email protected] (best way to reach me) & by appointment Phone: 1-3168 Course Goals: To read James Joyce’s Ulysses , Portrait , “The Dead,” and portions of Finnegans Wake in the context of avant-garde experimentalism in the 1920s, Irish history, and the social, political, and artistic implications of these texts in the 21 st century. Special emphasis will be place on gender, sexuality, Irish national debates, and aesthetics. Students will write two formal research papers: one on Portrait and the “Telemachaid” (1 st 3 chapters of Ulysses) and one on an episode of Ulysses . In each paper, students will use at least one scholarly essay. Students should develop library research skill and analytic abilities. Grading and Assignments: Students are expected to * Attend every class, with the reading for that day thoroughly prepared. Participation is crucial in this class; students should miss no more than one class and anyone absent for four risks failing the semester. * Give a short presentation on one of the critical essays listed on the syllabus. This should be five minutes and should give us a succinct synthesis including description of the essay’s main points (three or more), using key quotes, and providing some analytically incisive questions that will jump start class discussion. * Take short exams on Ulysses the day they appear on the syllabus. You may drop one of these, if you wish. However, do not skip any exams until the last one, because there are no make ups, and you might miss a test due to illness later on. These tests will be multiple choice. Exams should demonstrate that you have kept up on the reading and have attended to class discussion. * Write two formal papers: first paper, 5-7 pages; the second 10-12 pages—both use 1-2 refereed source/scholarly essays, which can be chosen from those on the syllabus or found through the MLA search via Swem’s website. The papers are the most important aspect of the course, proving that the student has learned thesis development, textual synthesis and analysis, and formal writing.

  • The Sentence That Makes Stephen Dedalus Smash the Lamp
    Colby Quarterly Volume 22 Issue 2 June Article 3 June 1986 The Sentence That Makes Stephen Dedalus Smash the Lamp Frederick K. Lang Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.colby.edu/cq Recommended Citation Colby Library Quarterly, Volume 22, no.2, June 1986, p.88-92 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Digital Commons @ Colby. It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Lang: The Sentence That Makes Stephen Dedalus Smash the Lamp The Sentence That Makes Stephen Dedalus Smash the Lamp by FREDERICK K. LANG N Earthly Powers, among the finishing touches Anthony Burgess puts I to his caricature of Joyce at middle age, we find a trace of an earlier portrait of the artist. Hearing thunder, Burgess's "Poor fearful Joyce" reverts to prayer: "0 blessed Sacred Heart of Jesus keep us from harm."1 In the "Circe" episode of Ulysses, Stephen Dedalus, "Choking withfright, remorse and horror," confronts his dead mother. 2 "0 Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on him!" moans the apparition: "Save him from hell, o divine Sacred Heart!" (U 582). The prayer recited by Burgess's Joyce in 1923 and that recited to Joyce's Stephen in 1904 both resemble the invocations in "The Litany of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,"3 which is contained in numerous prayerbooks and religious manuals, including Devotions to the Sacred Heart ofJesus, published in Dublin. 4 What makes this particular work significant is that, two pages before the Litany of the Sacred Heart, we discover the origin of the sentence which accounts for Stephen's famous assault upon the brothel chandelier, the sentence which leaves him "Translating his spiritual into physical rebellion."5 Preceding the Litany is "An Act of Reparation"- "For the innumerable Irreverences and grievous Offences, by which we and others have insulted the Heart ofJesus" (Dev 304-06).

  • James Joyce and His Influences: William Faulkner and Anthony Burgess
    James Joyce and His Influences: William Faulkner and Anthony Burgess An abstract of a Dissertation by Maxine i!3urke July, Ll.981 Drake University Advisor: Dr. Grace Eckley The problem. James Joyce's Ulysses provides a basis for examining and analyzing the influence of Joyce on selected works of William Faulkner and Anthony Bur­ gess especially in regard to the major ideas and style, and pattern and motif. The works to be used, in addi­ tion to Ulysses, include Faulkner's "The Bear" in Go Down, Moses and Mosquitoes and Burgess' Nothing Like the Sun. For the purpose, then, of determining to what de­ gree Joyce has influenced other writers, the ideas and techniques that explain his influence such as his lingu­ istic innovations, his use of mythology, and his stream­ of-consciousness technique are discussed. Procedure. Research includes a careful study of each of the works to be used and an examination of var­ ious critics and their works for contributions to this influence study. The plan of analysis and presentation includes, then, a prefatory section of the dissertation which provides a general statement stating the thesis of this dissertation, some background material on Joyce and his Ulysses, and a summary of the material discussed in each chapter. Next are three chapters which explain Joyce's influence: an introduction to Joyce and Ulysses; Joyce and Faulkner; and Joyce and Burgess. Thus Chapter One, for the purpose of showing how Joyce influences other writers, discusses the ideas and techniques that explain his influences--such things as his linguistic innovations, his use of mythology, and his stream-of­ consciousness method.

  • The Earliest Translations of Joyce's Ulysses
    Papers on Joyce 16 (2010): 81-91 The Earliest Translations of Joyce’s Ulysses CARMELO MEDINA CASADO Abstract The article explores Joyce’s interest and active participation in the earliest translations of Ulysses into German, French, Spanish, Russian, Czech, Polish, Japanese, Danish, Italian, Hungarian and Portuguese, as documented in Sylvia Beach’s business letters, now part of the “James Joyce Collection” in the Poetry Collection at the University of the State of NY at Buffalo, and in the James Joyce-Paul Leon Papers at the National Library of Ireland, Dublin. Keywords: Ulysses, early translations, Sylvia Beach’s letters, James Joyce-Paul Leon Papers. ylvia Beach’s decision to publish Ulysses in her bookshop S“Shakespeare and Company” in 1922 came as a direct 1 consequence of the censorship pressure met by the novel. This pressure and its eventual ban, both in the United States and in 81 THE EARLIEST TRANSLATION OF JOYCE’S ULYSSES United Kingdom, did not quell the interest in the literary world to read Joyce’s Ulysses; furthermore it attracted the attention of people who wanted to read it in languages other than English and consequently of publishers and translators from different countries. The first legal ban of Ulysses took place in the United States in 1921, when it was still being periodically published in The Little Review; the ban was finally lifted by Judge John Woolsey’s resolution in 1933. In the United Kingdom, the ban and prosecution was personally carried out by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP); here too its distribution and publication was finally allowed in 1936, which was followed by the lifting of the ban in the rest of the English speaking world, where it had also been prohibited, except in 2 Ireland where Ulysses was not banned.

  • Name of Scholar: Rishiraj Pal Supervisor: Dr. Saurav Dasthakur
    Name of Scholar: Rishiraj Pal Supervisor: Dr. Saurav Dasthakur Title: Sense and Absence: Politics of Nonsense in James Joyce’s Later Works Registration No: VB-1528 of 2012-13 Date of Registration: 01.09.2015 Synopsis The world of nonsense is one where the authoritative codes of functions are inverted; it is characterized by paradoxes: making sense out of nonsense, creating a world of anarchy out of pattern as well as restoring an alternative form of order out of that chaos. Nonsense foregrounds the serious sense of marginality of human beings in this cosmic design and the pathos of meaninglessness of existence that is born out of the feelings of ‘thrownness’ from the point of origin to an alien universe. As a genre, it holds a satirical mirror to the rational ideas of life. Nonsense believes in inviolability of human predicament and an awareness of futility. I would like to investigate how nonsense as a tool becomes necessary for the aesthetic modernism that responds to the scenario of chaos—consequent of the destruction of civilization, faith and reason in the World Wars—and negotiates with the randomness of consciousness in the later works of James Joyce, primarily in Finnegans Wake (1939). It is important that Finnegans Wake, Sui generis, is distinguished from Nonsense Literature per se. In my dissertation, disagreeing with Hana F. Khasawneh, who in her doctoral dissertation argues Joyce to be ‘the happy prodigal’ of the ‘family’ of Literary Nonsense, I would try to establish that nonsense in Joyce acts as a strategic ploy and has a critical interrogative function laying bare the contradictions that are at the root of meaning-making.

  • The Rocky Road to Ulysses
    _t_ THE ROCKY ROAD TO ULYSSES BY HANS WALTER GABLER Series Editors Luca Crispi and Catherine Fahy THE NATIONAL LIBRARY OF IRELAND JOYCE STUDIES 2004 To the memory of Richard Ellmann (1918-1987) and Hugh Kenner (1923-2003) © 2005 Hans Walter Gabler —Ten years, {Mulligan] said, chewing and laughing. He is going to write something in ten years. —Seems a long way off, Haines said, thoughtfully lifting his spoon. Still, I shouldn't wonder if he did after all. (Ulysses 10.1089-92)' May Joyce, James Joyce's sister, remembered in a letter to her brother of 1 September 1916 that Jim would send all the younger brothers and sisters out of the room and, alone with his dying mother, would read to her from the novel he had just begun to write. May remembered because once or twice she managed to get overlooked, hiding under the sofa; and eventually Jim allowed her to stay for chapter after chapter.2 This must have been in the summer of 1903. It cannot have been later, for their mother died that August. Nor is it likely to have been earlier, since that would have been before Joyce left for Paris in early December 1902; nor, presumably, did these readings take place during the two or three weeks from late December 1902 to mid-January 1903 when Joyce, homesick, returned from Paris to spend Christmas in Dublin. We believe we know what James Joyce's first attempts at writing were, in his late teens, before he left Ireland for Paris. They comprised juvenile and early poems, some journalistic efforts, two translations from the German of plays by Gerhart Hauptmann,' and a miscellany made up of brief dramatic and narrative scenes and vividly visual accounts of dreams.

  • RICHARD ELLMANN Richard Ellmann 1918–1987
    RICHARD ELLMANN Richard Ellmann 1918–1987 RICHARD ELLMANN was fortunate to begin his career just as modernism was becoming an admissible academic topic. It was his genius to give it critical mass in his work on the three Irish titans, Yeats, Joyce and Wilde. It was genius too, as well as good fortune, that led him to approach them in that order, three monosyllables that will be his epitaph. The first step in this progress began in September 1945 when, assigned from the US Navy back to the Office of Strategic Services and posted to London, he was able to find his way to Dublin and visit the poet’s widow, George Yeats. She was already the watchful guardian of Yeats’s posthumous reputation, as aware as T. S. Eliot that he was ‘one of those few poets whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them’. But previous visitors had been few. Yeats had died at Roquebrune in January 1939, and his fame dwindled, his books out of print during the war. So that meeting, three years before Yeats’s body returned to be reinterred ‘under Ben Bulben’, was as full of significance for Mrs Yeats as for Dick Ellmann, American and just half her age. On the face of it, the situation was ripe with possi- bilities for mutual misunderstanding, but, as he recalled in the preface to the second edition (1979) of Yeats: the Man and the Masks, they hit it off at once.
