    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Arts and Law University of Birmingham October 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.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.

    The Cea Forum 2013

    Summer/Fall THE CEA FORUM 2013 Book Review Gordon Bowker, James Joyce: A New Biography New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2011. ($35.00) Lee Brewer Jones Georgia Perimeter College Online Regarding Gordon Bowker’s new James Joyce biography, one question immediately springs to mind: why? Herbert Gorman’s 1939 biography was authorized, and Richard Ellman’s 1959 work, although hoary, is still venerated. Bowker begins by acknowledging he must “stand on the shoulders of these and other books” (xi). Then, he asserts he “will attempt to go beyond the mere facts and tap into Joyce’s elusive consciousness” (8). Bowker’s biography, furthermore, “is informed by the belief that it is enlightening to view the work of a highly autobiographical writer like Joyce in the context of his life” (8). What Bowker does not state is that Gorman’s biography, overseen by the author himself, borders on hagiography. Ellman, too, labored at a time when members of Joyce’s family and some of his fiercest protectors survived. Both the passing of these individuals and the wealth of material discovered since Ellman revised his book in 1982 justify a writer with Bowker’s perspective reexamining the “riverrun” (5) that constitutes Joyce’s life and work. Bowker divides the 540 pages of James Joyce: A New Biography purely by chronology into 35 chapters, some covering only a few months of a capstone year, such as 1904. Each chapter receives its own title; one memorable choice is “Ulysses: Inside the Dismal Labyrinth 198 www.cea-web.org Summer/Fall THE CEA FORUM 2013 (1920 – 1921).” Writing in a straightforward style, Bowker plumbs both the shallows and the depths of the Liffey, the river that meanders throughout Joyce’s works even though he rarely saw it after 1904, when he was in his early twenties, and never at all after 1912.

Unpublished Letters of Ezra Pound to James, Nora, and Stanislaus Joyce Robert Spoo University of Tulsa According to my computation, 198 letters between Ezra so come Pound and James Joyce have far to light. Excluding or letters to by family members (as when Joyce had Nora write for him during his iUnesses), I count 103 letters by Joyce to Pound, 26 of which have been pubUshed, and 95 letters by Pound to Joyce, 75 of which have been published. These numbers should give some idea of the service that Forrest Read performed nearly thirty years ago in collecting and pubUshing the letters of Pound to Joyce,1 and make vividly clear also how poorly represented in print Joyce's side of the correspondence is. Given the present policy of the Estate of James Joyce, we cannot expect to see this imbalance rectified any time soon, but Iwould remind readers that the bulk of Joyce's un pubUshed letters to Pound may be examined at Yale University's Beinecke Library.

The British Library ‘Circe’ Notesheet 6 Conclusion The Afterlives of Joyce’s ‘Alphabetical Notebook’ Luca Crispi INTRODUCTION One of the most remarkable and productive notebooks James Joyce ever compiled is his so-called ‘Alphabetical Notebook’ (Cornell MS 25).1 Not only did he first use it to continue writing and revising Chapter V of A Portrait, he also relied on it to revise, restructure, and radically transform Chapters I, II, and V. More fully than anything else that survives, the notebook indicates that Joyce intended to write a series of scenes for a more expansive version of A Portrait that he chose not to include in the published work. He most likely also wrote still more scenes specifically for the first episode of Ulysses in 1914 and 1915 also based on entries he drew from the ‘Alphabetical Notebook’.

    James Joyce - Poems

    Classic Poetry Series James Joyce - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive James Joyce(2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominently the stream of consciousness technique he perfected. Other major works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His complete oeuvre includes three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters. Joyce was born to a middle class family in Dublin, where he excelled as a student at the Jesuit schools Clongowes and Belvedere, then at University College Dublin. In his early twenties he emigrated permanently to continental Europe, living in Trieste, Paris and Zurich. Though most of his adult life was spent abroad, Joyce's fictional universe does not extend beyond Dublin, and is populated largely by characters who closely resemble family members, enemies and friends from his time there; Ulysses in particular is set with precision in the streets and alleyways of the city. Shortly after the publication of Ulysses he elucidated this preoccupation somewhat, saying, “For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world.

    Discover Joyce's Dublin by Reading and Running

    Barry Sheehan / Dublin School of Creative Arts / Dublin Institute of Technology Discover Joyce’s Dublin by Reading and Running James Joyce told his friend Frank Budgen: “I want’ said Joyce, as we were walking down the Universitätstrasse, ‘to give a picture of Dublin so complete that if the city one day suddenly disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed out of my book” (Budgen, 1960, p.67, 68). This paper looks at the relevance of Dublin to Joyce’s writings and of the relevance of Joyce’s writings to Dublin. It is concerned with the virtual Dublin of Joyce’s writings, the physical manifestation of Dublin over time, and the relationships between them. Numerous scholars read and analyse the writings of Joyce without ever visiting Dublin. Is it necessary to visit Dublin to fully appreciate Joyce’s writings and is it necessary to read his writings to fully appreciate Dublin? What can be discovered in Dublin that cannot be discovered remotely? Could you recreate Dublin from Joyce’s writings? Methodology this research is trying to investigate wider “You are walking through it howsomever. associations between the people and the I am, a stride at a time. A very short space places that appear in the writings. of time through very short times of space” (Joyce, 1986, p.31). Reading and running are the primary methods of this research.

    Place and Space in English Modernist Children's Literature And

    1 Modernist Repositionings of Rousseau‘s Ideal Childhood: Place and Space in English Modernist Children‘s Literature and Its French Translations Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Aneesh Barai Queen Mary, University of London 2 Abstract It is a little-known fact that several modernists wrote for children: this project will focus on T. S. Eliot‘s Old Possum‟s Book of Practical Cats, James Joyce‘s The Cat and the Devil, Gertrude Stein‘s The World is Round and Virginia Woolf‘s Nurse Lugton‟s Curtain. While not often thought of as a modernist, I contend that Walter de la Mare‘s short stories for children, especially The Lord Fish, take part in this corpus of modernist texts for children. These children‘s stories, while scarcely represented in critical circles, have enjoyed a wide popular audience and have all been translated into French. Modernism is often considered an elitist movement, but these texts can contribute to its reassessment, as they suggest an effort towards inclusivity of audience. The translation of children‘s literature is a relatively new field of study, which builds from descriptive translation studies with what is unique to children‘s literature: its relation to pedagogy and consequent censorship or other tailoring to local knowledge; frequently, the importance of images; the dual audience that many children‘s books have in relating to the adults who will select, buy and potentially perform the texts; and what Puurtinen calls ‗read- aloud-ability‘ for many texts. For these texts and their French translations, questions of children‘s relations to place and space are emphasised, and how these are complicated in translation through domestication, foreignisation and other cultural context adaptations.

    'I Have Left My Book': Setting Joyce's Chamber Music Lyrics to Music

    ‘I Have Left My Book’: Setting Joyce’s Chamber Music Lyrics to Music ‘Jim should have stuck to music instead of bothering with writing.’ Nora Barnacle (quoted in Ellmann 1983: 169) I It’s a well-established fact of literary history that music was at the heart of James Joyce’s life and art. Although celebrated as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century – certainly one of the most influential – Joyce’s inspiration was at least as musical as it was literary. He heard the world as much as he saw it – as Harry Levin wrote: ‘ultimately it is the sense of hearing that dominates and modulates his prose: what gets said and, not least, what gets sung’ (‘Foreword’ in Teicher-Russel 1993: xi). Joyce’s ideas about the world and how the human fits into it were shaped to a great extent by his own musical imagination, which in turn was largely determined by the general cultural atmosphere in which he was born and raised. Put simply, Ireland in the late nineteenth century was a musical country, Dublin was a musical city, and the Joyces were a musical family. In his memoir of their undergraduate days together at the National University, Joyce’s university friend Con Curran wrote that ‘Music … was an abiding passion. It was a heritage from both sides of his family. His mother as well as his father was a singer, and also a pianist’ (1968: 40-1). It’s only fitting in light of this that the first book published by the ‘Young Man’ who was to go on to become such a celebrated ‘Artist’ should be one so thoroughly inspired by, and infused with, music.
