Masculinities in Joyce: Postcolonial Constructions is the first volume to address the topic of masculinity in relation to Joyce's writings. The essays compiled here range in their discussion from Dubliners to Finnegans Wake, and they focus upon masculinity from a variety of angles and critical methodologies. Drawing upon historical research, and the intersecting insights of postcolonial, poststructurali feminist and queer theories, they examine the complexity, and the contradictions, of the construction of masculinity in Joyce's work in close detail. The premise of this book is that masculinity, like femininity, is an ideologically constructed. parameter of human identity, and that understanding the principles and implications of that constructedness adds to one's insight in both literature and history.
