Joyce Studies in Italy is a peer‐reviewed annual journal aimed at collecting mate‐ rials which throw light upon Joyce’s work and world. It is open to the contribu‐ tions from scholars from both Italy and abroad, and its broad intertextual ap‐ proach is intended to develop a better understanding of James Joyce, the man and the artist. The project was initiated in the early 1980s by a research team at the University of Rome, ‘La Sapienza’, led by Giorgio Melchiori. It subsequently passed to the Università Roma Tre. Originally no house style was imposed re‐ garding the individual essays in the collection but in recent issues a standardized stylesheet has been adopted wich can be found at the end of each volume. Under the patronage of honorary members Umberto Eco and Giorgio Melchiori, the James Joyce Italian Foundation was founded in 2006 (website: http://host.uniroma3.it/associazioni/jjif). The work of the Foundation, and the is‐ sues of the Piccola Biblioteca Joyciana series, are also intended to promote and further the work undertaken by “Joyce Studies in Italy”.

And it is not as one-sided as might be imag- ined. Shakespeare is far more than a mere source for Joyce but also, as Paola Pugliatti asserts in her essay in this volume, drawing on Harold Love, “a sort of collaborator” within the Joycean text. But Joyce too, by scavenging words, ideas, structures, and themes, from Shake- speare, does not in any way deplete him but instead renews and re- plenishes his works, finding forms of engagement that renew Shake- speare’s relevance for readers in Joyce’s times and in our own. This is a token of Joyce’s recognition of the sheer greatness of the Bard if not of his deference towards him. For all the affinities teased out in this and other volumes and in multiple essays exploring this complex literary relationship, at first it might seem that the two writers could hardly have been more differ- ent, belonging, as they did, to different times, spaces, nationalities. The former a poet and playwright working in a nation in formation, living in what is often referred to as the Golden Age of the English Renaissance, during which the country was beginning to make its weight felt across the globe; the latter, a minor poet, an underwhelm- ing playwright, and a master of the novel, a genre not yet in existence in Shakespeare’s time, struggling to be published in a country moving uncertainly towards independence but enjoying, on its own terms, a powerful and empowering cultural revival or renaissance. Both wrote at crucial moments in the formation of their respective nations, albeit 7 at a distance of three hundred years. Shakespeare was writing when the English language as we know it was consolidating and his works played a key role in that process; Joyce wrote from outside the main- stream, described “[w]riting in the English language” as “the most in- genious torture ever devised for sins committed in previous lives” (SL, 230) and did much to both destabilize and enrich both the English lan- guage and the traditions of literature in English, firstly from Ireland and subsequently from his various perches in continental Europe. If Shakespeare gave indelible shape and resounding voice to the centre that is England, Joyce, in putting Ireland on the page and hence on the European and, ultimately, on the global literary map, symbolically gave equally vibrant voice to the rest of the world that had come under English influence or English colonization and whose native voice had, as a result, often been largely reduced to silence. Read side by side, in this, the year in which we celebrate the four hundredth anniversity of the Bard’s death, Shakespeare and Joyce represent rival twin peaks of literature written in the English language. Yet in their times both started out as outsiders to the dominant literary elites and were seen by many, to borrow Robert Greene’s 1592 de- scription of Shakespeare, as upstart crows, confidently challenging the greatest writers and the consolidated traditions of their times while at the same time borrowing liberally from predecessors and contempo- raries: there is an upstart Crow, beautified with our feathers, that with his Tiger’s heart wrapped in a Player's hide, supposes he is as well able to bombast out a blank verse as the best of you: and being an absolute Johannes facto- tum, is in his own conceit the only Shake-scene in a country.1 Just as Shakespeare was prone to borrow and adapt for his plots, so too Joyce had no compunction about appropriating or borrowing 1 Daryl Pinksen has disputed that this actually refers to Shakespeare in his “Was Robert Greene’s “Upstart Crow” the actor Edward Alleyn?”, The Marlowe Society Re- search Journal - Volume 06 - 2009 Online Research Journal Article. http://www.marlowe society.org/pubs/journal/downloads/rj06articles/jl06_03_pinksen_upstartcrowalleyn.pdf 8 from the Odyssey, or an Irish-American song, or even some of

  • Shakespeare's Lost Playhouse
    Shakespeare’s Lost Playhouse The playhouse at Newington Butts has long remained on the fringes of histories of Shakespeare’s career and of the golden age of the theatre with which his name is associated. A mile outside London, and relatively disused by the time Shakespeare began his career in the theatre, this playhouse has been easy to forget. Yet for eleven days in June, 1594, it was home to the two companies that would come to dominate the London theatres. Thanks to the ledgers of theatre entrepreneur Philip Henslowe, we have a record of this short venture. Shakespeare’s Lost Playhouse is an exploration of a brief moment in time when the focus of the theatrical world in England was on this small playhouse. To write this history, Laurie Johnson draws on archival studies, archaeology, en- vironmental studies, geography, social, political, and cultural studies, as well as methods developed within literary and theatre history to expand the scope of our understanding of the theatres, the rise of the playing business, and the formations of the playing companies. Laurie Johnson is Associate Professor of English and cultural studies at the University of Southern Queensland, current President of the Australian and New Zealand Shakespeare Association, and editorial board member with the journal Shakespeare. His publications include The Tain of Hamlet (2013), and the edited collections Embodied Cognition and Shakespeare’s Theatre: The Early Modern Body-Mind (with John Sutton and Evelyn Tribble, Routledge, 2014) and Rapt in Secret Studies: Emerging Shakespeares (with Darryl Chalk, 2010).

  • Samuel Beckett and Fyodor Dostoevsky
    Metaphysical Comedy: Samuel Beckett and Fyodor Dostoevsky PhD English Literature Ekaterina Gosteva May 2019 I confirm that this is my own work and the use of all material from other sources has been properly and fully acknowledged. ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the connection between Beckett’s comedy and Dostoevsky’s novels in the light of René Girard’s theory of metaphysical desire. While focusing on Beckett’s prose of the 1930s, this study begins with the typology of laughter in Watt. ​ ​ With the help of this passage (employed as a critical tool), the subject of Beckett’s comedy is preliminarily defined as ‘The Unhappy Consciousness’. In Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit, this term is stated with regards to the functions of laughter ​ as a negative response to a threat from a hostile phenomenal world. ‘The risus purus’, which Beckett celebrates as ‘the laugh of laughs’, reveals itself as a satirical attack at Kant’s rational cosmology and Hegel’s phenomenology. A further investigation into this structure provides a link between the genre of comedy in general, Beckett’s comic form and Girard’s theory of mimetic desire, based on the works of Cervantes, Flaubert, Stendhal, Proust and Dostoevsky. The works of these novelists allowed René Girard to articulate a concrete theorization of desire, which binds together literary and anthropological questions. Beckett’s engagement with Dostoevsky remains a blind spot in Beckett studies. Although as early as Proust, Beckett attempted to link Proust and Dostoevsky as the ​ ​ writers whose technique he defined as ‘negative and comic’, the scarcity of his critical comments on Dostoevsky has been an obstacle for scholars trying to identify and analyse their relationship.

  • Psychoanalysis and the Problem of Evil: Debating Othello in the Classroom
    Barbara A. Schapiro 481 BARBARA A. SCHAPIRO Psychoanalysis and the Problem of Evil: Debating Othello in the Classroom Since “evil” has become a term much in vogue in our current political climate, it seems ever more important to explore its psychic meanings and origins. What, first of all, do analysts and therapists mean by the word “evil”? The grandios- ity of the term, as well as its traditionally religious connota- tions, perhaps make it unsuited to the therapeutic context. As Ruth Stein (2002) has commented, “’Evil’ may sound too allegorical or too concrete, too essentialist or too objective for psychoanalytic ways of thinking that are oriented towards the study of individual subjectivity” (394). In an article entitled “Evil in the Mind of the Therapist” (2001), Robert Winer surveyed a number of practitioners and found a general consensus that “an evil person is someone who knowingly deeply hurts innocent people” (613). The emphasis here, he says, is on the “knowingly”—conscious deliberateness is key— as it is on the extremity of the hurt inflicted: “negating the other person’s soul, . destruction as an end in itself” (613). Winer discusses how his own psychological engagement with a patient works against his ever seeing that patient as evil, “no matter how outrageous his crimes” (614). The social psycholo- gist Roy Baumeister (1997) has observed that even serial killers never see themselves as evil but “regard themselves as victims” (47). Winer suggests that it is easier to experience characters in books and movies as evil because we know them only through their evil actions.

    Ulysses in Paradise: Joyce’s Dialogues with Milton by RENATA D. MEINTS ADAIL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY English Studies School of English, Drama, American & Canadian Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham October 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. 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.

Rabillard, Supervisor (Department of English) Dr. Janelle Jenstad, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Michael Best, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Annalee Lepp, Outside Member (Department of Women’s Studies) Abstract The temptation to meddle with Shakespeare has proven irresistible to playwrights since the Restoration and has inspired some of the most reviled and most respected works of theatre. Nahum Tate’s tragic-comic King Lear (1681) was described as an execrable piece of dementation, but played on London stages for one hundred and fifty years. David Garrick was equally tempted to adapt King Lear in the eighteenth century, as were the burlesque playwrights of the nineteenth. In the twentieth century, the meddling continued with works like King Lear’s Wife (1913) by Gordon Bottomley and Dead Letters (1910) by Maurice Baring.

In The Daemon Knows, published in 2015, the heroic, boundless Harold Bloom claimed to have one more book left in him. If his contract with Simon & Schuster is any indication, he has more work than that to complete. The effusive 86-year-old has agreed to produce a sequence of five books on Shakespearean personalities, presumably those with whom he’s most enamored. The first, recently released, is Falstaff: Give Me Life, which has been called an “extended essay” but reads more like 21 ponderous essay-fragments, as though Bloom has compiled his notes and reflections over the years. The result is a solemn, exhilarating meditation on Sir John Falstaff, the cheerful, slovenly, degenerate knight whose unwavering and ultimately self- destructive loyalty to Henry of Monmouth, or Prince Hal, his companion in William Shakespeare’s Henry trilogy (“the Henriad”), redeems his otherwise debauched character. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/redeeming-the-debauched-falstaff/ 1/4 10/26/2017 Redeeming the Debauched Falstaff | The American Conservative Except Bloom doesn’t see the punning, name-calling Falstaff that way.
