Stephen is uncomfortable with the closeness and does not seem to want to be understood, which explains why he sings the "Jew's Daughter" ballad. His acceptance or rejection of Bloom's hospitality is moot in my reading, since Bloom and Stephen have already been reunited as much as one can be in the fallen world (as reunited as a lapsarian Odysseus can be with Telemachos in a lapsarian Odyssey). -

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. -

Spiritual Paralysis and Epiphany: James Joyce's “Eveline”
Gaziantep Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi (http://sbe.gantep.edu.tr) 2012 11(2):587 -600 ISSN: 1303-0094 Spiritual Paralysis and Epiphany: James Joyce’s “Eveline” and “The Boarding House” “James Joyce’un ‘Eveline’ ve ‘The Boarding House’ adlı Hikayelerindeki Ruhsal Çöküntü ve Epifani” Zennure Köseman Inönü University Abstract This article intends to highlight James Joyce’s ironical outlook for the existence of epiphanies in women’s lives to be released from their spiritual paralysis and stagnation as indicated in “Eveline” (1904) and “The Boarding House” (1906) in Dubliners. In “Eveline” and “The Boarding House,” Joyce portrays women who are in a struggle for setting aside the inequalities and miseries of their social environment through their representative wish for emancipation in their lonely and alienated state of minds. Trapped in a web of social expectations and constraints, women intend to escape from the strict patriarchal society of Dublin in these short stories. Structured and controlled by the issue of femininity, James Joyce writes about the effects of the Irish society on female adolescents. “Eveline” and “The Boarding House” offer two portrayals of women who are enclosed by the dominance of the rigid patriarchal society which ends up the need for emancipation from social rigid rules. In these stories, however, the women characters portray a continuation of the choice of their domestic female roles, i.e., their struggle for emancipation turns out to be useless. "Eveline" is the story of a young teenager who faces a dilemma where she has to choose either she has to live with her father or escape with his boyfriend. -
THE THEME of CLASS in JAMES JOYCE's DUBLINERS by David
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. -

Zoller, Committee Chair We have read this Thesis and recommend its acceptance: ____________________________________ Christopher K. Brooks, Committee Member ____________________________________ Wilson Baldridge, Committee Member ii The Roman Catholic Church was an important and prominent aspect of Irish life in the early twentieth century. Where most of Western Europe had become secularized during the nineteenth century, Ireland remained steadfast in its faith, be it Roman Catholic or Protestant. However, at the time, more than ninety percent of the Irish population was Roman Catholic with the numbers of Protestants belonging to the Church of Ireland or Presbyterian and Methodist Churches falling from eight percent in the second half of the nineteenth century to less than three percent in 1981 (Inglis 63). As a result of the growth of the Roman Catholic Church, much of Irish politics and society was infused with starkly Catholic tones—so much that individual citizens and the nation as a whole began to understand their inherent identity through their association with the Roman Catholic faith (59). -

It has been accepted for inclusion in Colby Quarterly by an authorized editor of Digital Commons @ Colby. Haas: Music in Dubliners Music in Dubliners by ROB ERTHAAS AM ES JOY e E was a musician before he ever became a writer. 1 He learned music as a child~ perfonned it for his family, friends~ and the public as a young Jman, and loved the arthis whole life long. The books ofHodgart and Worthington and of Bowen have traced how deeply and pervasively its role is felt throughout Joyce's fiction. 2 The great novels ofhis maturity, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. contain more than a thousand musical episodes, incidents, and allusions. If Joyce's early fiction has less than this profusion~ it is perhaps simply because at the time he was not yet so bold an experimenter in literary style. The early works were~ nevertheless, produced by a man who was actively studying music, who was near his peak as a musical performer, and who still at times contemplated making music his life ~s career. When Joyce introduces music in his writing~ it is with the authority and significance ofan expert; and it is surely worth OUf while as readers to attend to it. In the present essay I would like to focus on the music inJoyce's early volume ofshort stories, Dubliners. -
In Joyce's Dubliners
PARALYSIS AS “SPIRITUAL LIBERATION” IN JOYCE’S DUBLINERS Iven Lucas Heister, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2014 APPROVED: David Holdeman, Major Professor and Chair of the Department of English Masood Raja, Committee Member Stephanie Hawkins, Committee Member Mark Wardell, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Heister, Iven Lucas. Paralysis as “spiritual liberation” in Joyce’s Dubliners. Master of Arts (English), May 2014, 50 pp., references, 26 titles. In James Joyce criticism, and by implication Irish and modernist studies, the word paralysis has a very insular meaning. The word famously appears in the opening page of Dubliners, in “The Sisters,” which predated the collection’s 1914 publication by ten years, and in a letter to his publisher Grant Richards. The commonplace conception of the word is that it is a metaphor that emanates from the literal fact of the Reverend James Flynn’s physical condition the narrator recalls at the beginning of “The Sisters.” As a metaphor, paralysis has signified two immaterial, or spiritual, states: one individual or psychological and the other collective or social. The assumption is that as a collective and individual signifier, paralysis is the thing from which Ireland needs to be freed. Rather than relying on this received tradition of interpretation and assumptions about the term, I consider that paralysis is a two-sided term. I argue that paralysis is a problem and a solution and that sometimes what appears to be an escape from paralysis merely reinforces its negative manifestation. Paralysis cannot be avoided. Rather, it is something that should be engaged and used to redefine individual and social states.
