Still, we are grateful to the University of York for hosting and supporting the original 2012 conference, as well as the MHRA Conference Fund for the award of £1000. Thanks also to those friends who helped out at this event, such as Sarah Pett and Isabelle Hesse. It is also important to thank Professor Derek Attridge, who supervised both of us during our PhDs, for his continuing advice and support. Special thanks go to the contributors to the volume, for entrusting their excellent work to our hands, and to our editors at Palgrave. Thanks also to our many friends in the Joyce community whose ear we have bent about this project as it developed, many but by no means all of whom were at the original conference: Vike Plock, Valérie Benejam, Anne Fogarty, Luca Crispi, Sam Slote, Thomas Gurke, Jūraté Levina, Matt Hayward, Arthur Rose, Michelle Witen, Paul Fagan, Ruben Borg, Tamara Radak, Lloyd (Meadhbh) Houston, and Daniel Curran. On a more personal note, Katherine wishes to acknowledge the impor- tance of her friendship and collaboration with James, which has admirably withstood the many hazards of edited collection partnership, and to thank him for his unfailing editorial judgement and his calm in a crisis. She is also happy to have been able to work with J. T. Welsch on this project, loving both his work and himself, and thankful for Sasha’s doggy loyalty through- out. She is also grateful for a research community at Sheffield that has helped her mature as a critic (at least to the extent that she has), and the moral support of Amber Regis and Fabienne Collignon in particular. ix x ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS James would like to marvel yet further on the survival, nay strengthen- ing, of his friendship with Katherine throughout this editorial process. She brings the same characteristics to her editing as she does to her friendships: diligence, consideration, and intelligence. He would also like to thank her for indulging his crankish insistence on the value of the serial comma, the difference between the words “crucial” and “important,” and the editorial advantages of Courier New. He thanks Anna and Aengus for still being there when he gets home and for being a home worth travelling 500 miles for. He also acknowledges his sister Fiona, because she complained that he didn’t last time.

With this term, I would like to suggest that love is not only a prominent theme in Joyce, but a dominant concept within a philosophical and artistic trajectory, part and parcel of an artist’s progress as he experiments with the power of images and with modes of representation. My argument turns on three interconnected points: first, that early on in his career Joyce adopts a scholastic framework according to which love is the supreme philosophi- cal emotion and the source from which all other emotions proceed; sec- ond, that he puts this framework to the test by pitting the concept of love against a cluster of related passions, most notably desire, pity, and joy; and finally, that in exploring these passions, he grapples with the problem of reconciling a scholastic interpretation of love with a modernist approach to representation. Joyce originally adheres to the hierarchy of dramatic passions estab- lished by the scholastic tradition; but in the course of his artistic evolution he is led to question the sustainability of that hierarchy. We will see that this shift is best illustrated by a comparison between A Portrait of the Artist and Giacomo Joyce.

    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.

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 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.

Other references, out of sequence as often as in, indicate that more time has elapsed.

  • Works of James Joyce
    Guide to James Joyce holdings in the Rosenbach Museum & Library 14 May 2021 HISTORICAL NOTE Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach was well known as a collector of English literature but is perhaps best known for owning Joyce’s original manuscript for Ulysses. Joyce had sold the manuscript shortly before the book was published in 1922, to John Quinn, an Irish American lawyer and collector who had defended the publishers of The Little Review when they were prosecuted for obscenity in 1920. Quinn sold the manuscript with many others from his collection in January 1924, and Dr. Rosenbach purchased it for $1,975, slightly below the reserve price of $2,000. Joyce attempted to buy back his manuscript, but Rosenbach refused to sell. Rosenbach did, however, offer to buy the corrected page proofs of Ulysses. Dr. Rosenbach and Joyce never met. Dr. Rosenbach also owned a handful of other Joyce works, including a first edition of Ulysses, given to him by the publisher and auctioneer Mitchell Kennerley in 1922, when it was still banned in the United States. All these objects are marked below with an asterisk (*). The Rosenbach has expanded these holdings considerably, and continues to collect works by and about Joyce. The guide is updated as new material is acquired. Objects acquired since 2014 are marked with a “+”. SCOPE & CONTENT This collections guide serves as an overview of the Joyce holdings, providing titles and call numbers.

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’.

    Acting the Prince: Giacomo Joyce and Hamlet Mick Greer School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon University of Lisbon Centre for Theater Studies ISSN: 0873-0628ANGLO SAXONICA SER. III N. 9 2015 Acting the Prince: Giacomo Joyce and Hamlet iacomo Joyce, probably written during the summer of 19141 though only published in 1968,2 and which sketches the obsession Gof a rather timid English teacher for an unnamed female student in Trieste, is James Joyce’s shortest prose work and the only one not set in Dublin. This has led to Giacomo being rather overlooked and somewhat ‘exiled’ to the periphery of the Joyce canon. When brought into critical consideration, until recently, questions of categorisation were the order of the day with, for example, Henriette Lazaridis Power asking in the James Joyce Quarterly, “What exactly is its genre? Should it be considered an essentially verbal or visual text?” (623). Lazaridis Power did not, arguably (and perhaps understandably), come to a definitive conclusion in 1991, and although the collection of essays, Giacomo Joyce: Envoys of the Other3 has made significant headway in bringing Giacomo Joyce into the fold and exploring its literary value, attempting to answer Lazaridis Power’s initial question is still no easy matter. Giacomo Joyce does indeed rather defy clear categorisation, lying somewhere between the prose poem and the dramatic monologue. The 1 See Richard Ellmann, ed. Giacomo Joyce. London: Faber and Faber, 1983 (1968). xvi. 2 Fritz Senn has written of the “ripple of excitement early in 1968 when a smallish, limited, expensive edition of a book called Giacomo Joyce presented itself to the reading public as a second posthumous work by Joyce, after the considerably longer fragment of Stephen Hero.

The cracked lookingglass of a servant”(U, 1.146). This cracked mirror of a servant of England can only show a distorted image of himself. Although this figuration may remind us of raging Caliban seeing his own face in a glass, it is not derived from The Picture of Dorian Gray but from “The Decay of Lying” of Oscar Wilde as Don Gifford points out.1) Let me remind you of the context of the phrases. Cyril: … I can quite understand your objection to art being treated as a mirror. You think it would reduce genius to the position of a cracked looking- glass. But you don’t mean to say that you seriously believed that Life imitates Art, that Life in fact is the mirror, and Art the reality?

  • James Joyce's Pomes Penyeach and Their Literary Context
    JJQ “The Ache of Modernism”: James Joyce’s Pomes Penyeach and Their Literary Context Norbert Lennartz University of Vechta wentieth-century poetry is more often than not regarded as a decisive break with traditions connected with earlier times— even as a tabula rasa that, in the wake of Ezra Pound’s impera- T 1 tive, promised to make everything new. When Queen Victoria died in 1901 after an unprecedented sixty-four-year reign, the effect— according to H. G. Wells—was that of a leaden paperweight sud- denly being lifted from cultural life,2 and, consequently, new hitherto dormant ideas, concepts, and genres proliferated. The poet Rupert Brooke was even more emphatic when, in the first of his so-called “War Sonnets” in 1915, he visualized a caesura after the fin-de-siècle lethargy, using the image of an athlete who willingly leaps into the purifying cleanness of war: “Now, God be thanked Who has matched us with His hour,/And caught our youth, and wakened us from sleeping,/With hand made sure, clear eye, and sharpened power,/To turn, as swimmers into cleanness leaping,/Glad from a world grown old and cold and weary.”3 Without mentioning explicitly what was meant by “a world grown old and cold and weary” or from whose clutches God was credited with having saved the new generation, Brooke relied on his readers to understand that his criticism was leveled against the last few decades of the nineteenth century.
