Re : Joyce: Text, Culture, Politics

by John Brannigan (Editor), Julian Wolfreys (Editor), Geoff Ward (Editor)

Re: Joyce provides a significant collection of new essays on Joyce and Joyce studies from an international array of prominent and emerging Joyce scholars, from the US, Australia, France, Ireland and Great Britian. Combing a wide range of theoretical approaches with the rigors of historical and cultural contextualization and close reading, this collection intervenes with current debates about Joyce's work and the place of Joyce in the academy, while addressing all principal areas of Joycean scholarship. In addition to this, the volume raises issues relevant to the study of Joyce in the context of modernism. Grouped thematically, the essays which comprise Re: Joyce offer all readers of Joyce an exciting series of indepth encounters with the pre-eminent writer of the 20th century, whose work is among the most widely studied, and which continues to be a major source of critical debate as well as an influence on modern fiction and poetics, as some of the essays which conclude this volume demonstrate.
