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. -
Epiphanies in Dubliners
Epiphanies in Dubliners Epiphanies in Dubliners* Takashi Suzuki Epiphanies appear in Dubliners in various ways. Some stories present them directly. These epipha- nies are apparent to every reader. One of these is in “After the Race”. Jimmy Doyle is a son of the successful father who is called a merchant prince by the Dublin newspapers. Jimmy is a spoiled youth who has money and is popular but of no particular talent. He is very excited, sitting in a car that a wealthy Frenchman drives with his companions through the cheers of spectators. He has joined the Frenchman’s company without no reason. Jimmy takes this car race as the opportunity to deepen his relationship with the Frenchman from mere acquaintance to friendship. The Frenchman is reputed to own some of the biggest hotels in France, and is about to start motor business in Paris. Jimmy is going to “stake”(47)1 the greater part of his money on the Frenchman’s venture, and the Frenchman gives him the impression that the investment is made possible by a favour of friendship. The idea of this investment is initiated by his father’s suggestion. Therefore Jimmy and his father treat them in a very friendly and hospitable manner. But this design leads Jimmy to a fatal card game, and he loses more than he can afford: He knew that he would regret it in the morning, but at present he was glad of the rest, glad of the dark stupor that would cover up his folly. He leaned his elbows on the table and rested his head between his hands, counting the beats of his temples. -

For more information, please contact [email protected]. ―All the beef to the heels were in‖: Advertising and Plenty in Joyce‘s Ulysses by MINDY JO RATCLIFF (Under the Direction of Howard Keeley) ABSTRACT Privileging a historicist approach, this document explores the presence of consumer culture, particularly advertising, in James Joyce‘s seminal modernist novel, Ulysses (1922). It interrogates Joyce‘s awareness of how a broad upswing in Ireland‘s post-Famine economy precipitated advertising-intensive consumerism in both rural and urban Ireland. Foci include the late-nineteenth-century transition in agriculture from arable farming to cattle-growing (grazier pastoralism), which, spurring economic growth, facilitated the emergence of a ―strong farmer‖ rural bourgeoisie. The thesis considers how Ulysses inscribes and critiques that relatively affluent coterie‘s expenditures on domestic cultural tourism, as well as hygiene-related products, whose presence on the Irish scene was complicated by a British discourse on imperial cleanliness. -

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). -

Reading the Margins of Joyce's Dubliners

Voelker: "Chronicles of Disorder": Reading the Margins of Joyce's Dubliner "Chronicles of Disorder": Reading the Margins of Joyce's Dubliners by JOSEPH C. VOELKER lIKE Flaubert's Madame Bovary, Joyce's Dubliners is a book which L derives its power from ambivalence. Of the two writers, Joyce is perhaps the more generous, for while Flaubert could qualify his hatred only in the case of his heroine, Joyce found himself to be of two minds toward an entire city. All his life, Joyce oscillated between injured rage at the parochial closed-mindedness of Dublin and a grudging fondness for its inexplicable and unsteady joie de vivre. It is strange, therefore, that even sensitive readers of Dubliners have agreed to see a very singleminded Joyce lurking behind the realism of his narrative. Perhaps because of the shrillness of his letters at the time, we have come to envision the young Joyce as a nlalignant artist, crafting maledictory leitmotivs out of coffins, priests, books, and gold florins. In such a view, the book is a clinically detailed diagnosis of hemiplegia, and all conclusions concerning the quality of actions within its pages are necessarily foregone. -
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.
