de-Familiarizing Readings: Essays from the Austin Joyce Conference. (European Joyce Studies)

de-Familiarizing Readings: Essays from the Austin Joyce Conference. (European Joyce Studies) by Alan W. Friedman
English | 2010 | ISBN: 9042032375 | 110 Pages | PDF | 1.39 MB

Unlike many recent Joyce studies, De-familiarizing Readings eschews the theoretical and ideological and instead plants itself on firmer ground. Its seven outstanding Joyce scholars share a love of the "stuff" of texts, contexts, and intertexts: data and dates, food and clothing, letters and journals, literary allusions, and other quotidian desiderata. Their inductive approaches - whether to Dubliners, Portrait of the Artist, Ulysses, or Finnegans Wake - are thoroughly researched, argued with meticulous, even nit-picking, precision, and offer the pleasurable reading experience of forensic analysis. And in the end they provide the satisfaction of reaching persuasive conclusions that seem both striking and inevitable.
