Abstract: The young Stephen Dedalus, as depicted in the early pages of James Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, has a lot of questions: Should he or shouldn't he kiss his mother before going to bed' Was he "for the green or for the maroon"' "When would he be like the fellows in poetry and rhetoric'"1 There is so much he does not know, but at least he seems to know very well where he is. However much the young Clongowes pupil may struggle with the arbitrary task of memorizing American place names, he has a good general sense of spatial orientation. The places given in his geography lesson "were all in different countries and the countries were in continents and the continents were in the world and the world was ... Read More

Abstract: Much has been said about James Joyce's literary engagement with Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy during the six decades that have elapsed since Richard Ellmann first proposed that "at heart Joyce can scarcely have been a Nietzschean any more than he was a socialist."1 In the 1960s and 1970s, this appraisal established a foundation for the common belief that Joyce identified with aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy for a brief period during the summer of 1904, before outgrowing these ideas as he matured.2 As shown by the following note to George Roberts, dated 13 July 1904, there is no question that Joyce was familiar with Nietzsche's philosophy at that time:Dear Roberts: Be in the "Ship" tomorrow at 3.30 with £1.

Abstract: Joyce's work has always engaged the ethics of space, place, and movement. Those categories form the fundamental boundaries of experience, and therefore of narrative, yet in the Ireland of Joyce's time were inextricable from the politics of a modern nation contending with its colonial condition. After all, Joyce himself fled to Europe from an oppressed Ireland so that he might express a modern version of its soul, and then left Trieste for neutral Switzerland to escape the Great War. Once back in Trieste, his family fled the beginnings of Italian Fascism for the artistic haven of Paris in 1920, only to rush back to Switzerland twenty years later as the Nazi occupation began. That his work treated the negotiation of ... Read More

Abstract: 29 August 2016: LÉ James Joyce rescues 617 refugees in the Mediterranean. LÉ James Joyce is the Irish Naval Service's Samuel Beckett-class offshore patrol vessel. Ships in the Irish Naval Service are prefixed with Long Éireannach (Irish Ship), abbreviated to LÉ. My essay's title contains the Naval Service's abbreviation and is, therefore, more concerned with the actual ship or, rather, refugees in Ireland and in Ulysses, than with Joyce's play.Joyce's Ulysses, as a meditation on exile understood expansively and inclusively, foreshadows and anticipates the contemporary refugee crises in Ireland, the rest of Europe, and elsewhere. In Ulysses and other works, Joyce links mythological wanderers (Odysseus-Stephen ... Read More

Abstract: Only our supermen know how to write the history of the future.James Joyce—as a "voluntary exile" and at times a forcibly displaced person—wrote at a time of colonialism, rebellions against imperialism, civil wars, world wars, genocidal persecutions, and the global movements of people.2 Global history is far too often a history of mass exodus. And that exodus has only worsened in the twenty-first century. War, violence, persecution, repression, disasters, environmental degradation, poverty, and hunger all drive this exodus, as even a handful of recent examples indicate. The Syrian war has forced more than 6.8 million refugees to flee the country since 2011. By the end of 2022 in Afghanistan, some 3.5 million people ... Read More

Abstract: Cultural forms like the novel have cooperated … in human rights law's globalizing designs, a sort of novelistic wing of human rights (to recondition a journalistic cliché about Sinn Féin) that disseminates its norms.For all his skepticism of the excesses of the Celtic Revival, James Joyce's eye for arcane scholarship did not fail him when it came to controversies on the ancestry of the Celts, not least General Charles Vallancey's (1725–1812) eighteenth-century theories on the Phoenician/North African origins of the Irish language. In his lecture "Ireland: Island of Saints and Sages," Joyce spoke of the Irish language to his Trieste audience, informing them:This language is eastern in origin, and has been identified ...

Abstract: The first half of this essay is a semi-personal meditation on the migration and refugee crisis in our contemporary moment, an international, humanitarian crisis of almost unfathomable proportions—followed, in the second half, by a discussion of how Joyce and Joyce's texts are relevant to these issues. Ours is now a world in upheaval, as millions of migrants and refugees from Third-World countries—especially in Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America—are on the move, seeking a better life in First-World countries, countries that are largely resistant to admitting them all. As Amitav Ghosh has said in an interview, this migration crisis "has completely overturned the politics of the West."1 And now this crisis has ... Read More

Abstract: I think I must have known Mark Wollaeger, or known of him, before I loved him: I'm told that's the natural order of things. Though I'm no longer able to remember precisely when or where, I heard him give a talk that became the important 1993 essay "Posters, Modernism, Cosmopolitanism: Ulysses and World War I Recruiting Posters in Ireland" (to which Paul refers in his tribute). I was dazzled, not least because Mark didn't just write good talks, he gave good talks, fully present in the text that functioned as his prompt-sheet. His was a lightning-quick wit that was probably as much limited as enabled by the dreary obligation of a scholarly paper. It was obvious to all that he was a gifted teacher; I was about to ...

Abstract: He's that teacher for me: the one who stands at the place where the life I'm now leading forked away from other possible lives. It's January 1989, sophomore spring, and I'm shopping a course called Modern British Novel. Although I've declared English as my major, I'm headed, I think, for medical school; this might be the one literature class I can take this term. The fellow at the podium—boyish but poised, high Skarsgårdian forehead raked by strands of sandy hair—has us laughing and relaxed ten minutes into his opening lecture on Lord Jim. I stay in Wollaeger, as we call the class, despite struggling to connect with Conrad's novel. But during the professor's lectures on Howards End, I begin to have an uh-oh feeling ... Read More

Abstract: More than one hundred years after its first publication, Joyce's Ulysses continues to inspire creative artistic responses and tributes. The Irish choreographer Liz Roche was approached in 2021 by Solas Nua, an Irish contemporary arts organization, to create a piece in celebration of the centennial of Joyce's work; her seventy-minute dance production of "Yes and Yes" is the wonderful result. The show played Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia in September 2022 before its Irish premiere in Dublin in November.Featuring many remarkable elements—including trance-inducing music, spectacular lighting effects, and the contortion-like muscular movements of four gifted dancers—the New York premiere of Yes and Yes graced the ...

Abstract: It may sound like hyperbole, but in the annals of twentieth-century American independent bookdealers of literature, the name J. Howard Woolmer, though far less well known, might be mentioned alongside those of A. S. W. Rosenbach and L. J. Rosenwald. However, Howard's skills as a bibliographer also put him in a class of his own. He passed away in December 2022 at the age of ninety-three, and this profile provides but a glimpse of his remarkable life and illustrious career.My wife Margy and I met Howard in the early 2000s. At that time, he was completing work on his final major projects, the world-class Leonard L. Milberg collections of Irish prose, poetry, and theater, American poetry, and Jewish-American writers at ... Read More

Abstract: James Joyce's Ulysses is a twentieth-century modernist novel published as a material text in a book on 2 February 1922. Produced from the printing-house of Maurice Darantiere in Dijon, France, the book is the product of high professional skill and workshop procedure. The house of Darantiere specialized in deluxe editions and, remarkably so in the early-twentieth century, still practiced typesetting by hand. The multiply successive proofs per gathering, virtually all preserved, identify no less than twenty-six typesetters at work. Over some nine months (mid-summer 1921 to 1 February 1922), the author, typists, printing-house workmen, and, again, author repeatedly interacted in shaping Joyce's written composition ... Read More

It additionally represents a new, and very welcome, addendum to the panorama of Italian scholarship on the subject, which had not seen the publication of an episode-by-episode analysis since Giorgio Melchiori and Giulio De Angelis's Guida alla lettura dell'Ulisse di James Joyce1 which accompanied the Italian translation, edited by ...

Abstract: Whether we like it or not, modern life is regulated by pace. We measure our existence by the way we feel: how quickly the days slip away; how slow time becomes when we are doing something we do not wish to do; or how fast it goes by when we are with loved ones. Recently I have been watching a television series and found myself complaining that the time skips happened too often and too quickly, leaving the audience baffled. Or I remember when I first read Moby Dick in my undergraduate years and felt quite lost when I began the notorious cetological chapters that halt the narrative. I did not know how to interpret them or what to make of them and their contribution to the narrative. Although I have studied ... Read More

Abstract: In The Great Derangement: Climate Change and the Unthinkable, Amitav Ghosh argues that the conventions of the realistic novel, including the stable, rational human being assumed by the genre, have been made possible by a predictable climate that allows the natural world to serve as an unthreatening backdrop to human activities.1 As I read Nicholas Allen's new study of "the sea, the coast and the changing states of water" (279) in selected works of Irish writing from W. B. Yeats to the present, I wondered if something similar might be said of the conventions of literary criticism. Just as Dipesh Chakrabarty has argued that, in our era of climate crisis, the discipline of history must reckon with a natural world's ... Read More

Abstract: Collecting rare books is a private, traditionally male-dominated endeavor. So, it was with great interest that I approached Annette Campbell-White's memoir: Beyond Market Value: A Memoir of Book Collecting and the World of Venture Capital. While Campbell-White writes clearly of her lifelong love of books and her rising fortunes as a venture capitalist, the text is disjointed and riddled with repetition. Each chapter reads as a stand-alone account of either her experience as a young professional at Hambrecht & Quist, an investment bank, or of a specific book acquisition. There is little connective tissue binding the chapters into a fluid story.From the outset, Campbell-White explains that books were her closest ... Read More

Abstract: Already intriguing us with its title—Hope, Form, and Future in the Work of James Joyce—this remarkably innovative exploration begins to challenge us with the first sentence in its "Introduction": "This book paints a picture of James Joyce's fiction in which hope and future assume the primary colors" (1). "Hope" and "future" have colors' The text goes on to say, "Nor have critics sufficiently acknowledged that hope constitutes a major part of Joyce's textual politics and political vision," and this directs us to the first footnote which lets us know that we have entered a critical field here termed "utopia studies" (22).1 The term "utopia" refers to imaginary societies, but ones with positive implications, also ...

Abstract: A summary of a recent British Broadcasting Company radio documentary exploring the influence of the many years James Joyce spent on the Continent concludes as follows: "Joyce was not only a great pathfinder; he also offers an inspiring trans-national vision of Europe and the world just at a time when borders are tightening and the darker shades of nationalism are once again looming large."1 In March 2022, as I finish writing this review of Tekla Mecsnóber's Rewriting Joyce's Europe: The Politics of Language and Visual Design, those darker shades have thickened even further. The monograph, as Sebastian Knowles writes in his foreword, "will appeal not only to scholars of Joyce but also to scholars of the rise of ... Read More

Abstract: Historicizing Modernists is a fascinating collection of essays that looks at a range of modernist authors against the backdrop of their time. The book brings together thirteen essays originally presented at a conference held at the University of York in May 2018 in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the prestigious "Historicizing Modernism" series published by the Bloomsbury Academic Press. As such, the present volume fulfils the same aims as that series: to challenge traditional literary-critical work by drawing on documentary and archival sources with a view to providing fresh intellectual perspectives on the work and methods of modernist writers. The new essays in this volume offer in condensed, but no less ... Read More
