Download or read book The Works of James Joyce written by James Joyce and published by NTC/Contemporary Publishing Company. This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: W. B. Yeats was Romantic and Modernist, mystical dreamer and leader of the Irish Literary Revival, Nobel prizewinner, dramatist and, above all, poet. He began writing with the intention of putting his 'very self' into his poems. T. S. Eliot, one of many who proclaimed the Irishman's greatness, described him as 'one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them'. For anyone interested in the literature of the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, Yeats's work is essential. This volume gathers the full range of his published poetry, from the hauntingly beautiful early lyrics (by which he is still fondly remembered) to the magnificent later poems which put beyond question his status as major poet of modern times. Paradoxical, proud and passionate, Yeats speaks today as eloquently as ever.
Download or read book Want written by Lynn Steger Strong and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of 2020 by Time Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, NPR, Vulture, The New Yorker, and Kirkus Grappling with motherhood, economic anxiety, rage, and the limits of language, Want is a fiercely personal novel that vibrates with anger, insight, and love. Elizabeth is tired. Years after coming to New York to try to build a life, she has found herself with two kids, a husband, two jobs, a PhD—and now they’re filing for bankruptcy. As she tries to balance her dream and the impossibility of striving toward it while her work and home lives feel poised to fall apart, she wakes at ungodly hours to run miles by the icy river, struggling to quiet her thoughts. When she reaches out to Sasha, her long-lost childhood friend, it feels almost harmless—one of those innocuous ruptures that exist online, in texts. But her timing is uncanny. Sasha is facing a crisis, too, and perhaps after years apart, their shared moments of crux can bring them back into each other’s lives. In Want, Lynn Steger Strong explores the subtle violences enacted on a certain type of woman when she dares to want things—and all the various violences in which she implicates herself as she tries to survive.

Download or read book Teller and Tale in Joyce s Fiction written by John Paul Riquelme and published by Baltimore : Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Although bemused readers might claim that Finnegans Wake is totally unlike anything they've seen before, John Paul Riquelme argues that it is quite closely related to all the rest of Joyce's fiction--indeed, that it represents the ultimate elaboration of the styles, techniques, and concepts that appear throughout the author's work. Questioning conventional notions of chronological development, Riquelme looks backward from Finnegans Wake to A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Hero, Dubliners, and Ulysses, in that order. He draws upon recent developments in literary theory concerning narrative style and reading to explore the relationship of the early works to later ones. Rather than follow traditional critics in their dismissal of Joyce's stylistic experiments as aberrations from a realistic norm, Teller and Tale argues that the changes over time in the author's expressive style indicate a protracted effort to overturn the conventions of realism in the novel. Particular attention is given to Joyce's use of the artist as character and narrator, his linking of ends to beginnings, his styles, and his attempts to present the source of writing. Teller and Tale in Joyce's Fiction traces a complex double movement in James Joyce's literary career as the writer sought to express both individual and collective consciousness in his work. By looking at Joyce's entire literary output, and at Finnegans Wake s its conclusion and epitome, Riquelme clarifies these narrative goals and helps us understand Joyce's struggle to bring them to the surface"--Jacket.

Download or read book Lots of Fun at Finnegans Wake written by Finn Fordham and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-08-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical introduction to Finnegans Wake and its genesis. Finn Fordham provides a survey of critical, scholarly, and theoretical approaches to Joyce's iconic masterpiece. He also analyses in detail the compositional development of certain key passages which describe the artist (Shem) and his project; the river-mother (ALP) and her 'first kiss'; the Oedipal shooting of the universal father (HCE) by the priestly son (Shaun); and the bewitching and curious daughter (Issy). His analyses demonstrate 'genetic' ways of reading the text which illustrate its immense range and playfulness and how these qualities were generated in composition. As well as opening up the densely detailed textuality of the Wake in all its multiplicity, Fordham argues for a relation between the way the text was formed and key aspects of its thematic content: an uprising of particularity and detail against universality, absolutes, and generality. He shows that the proliferation of individuated textual details overwhelms any unitary concept to the text. And this reflects an idealized and utopian uprising as it overcomes centralizing singularity: Finnegans do wake up. As part of this argument he proposes a qualified return to a notion of character - qualified in that characters can be understood in part as reflecting the character of compositional techniques: self-criticism and concealment, expansion and growth, flow and reflection, transferral and transformation. The character of the text's composition as a whole can be, paradoxically, summed up in the force of individuated multitudes: in the people, male and female, young and old, combining to overwhelm syntactic uniformity and singular signification.

Download or read book Joyce s Uncertainty Principle written by Phillip F. Herring and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phillip Herring distinguishes the solvable problems from the truly insolvable mysteries in Joyce studies. His unusual and often witty book contains enough background material to appeal to a beginning reader of Joyce, yet it will be of the utmost importance to the specialist. He argues that Joyce formulated an uncertainty principle as early as the first Dubliners story and that he continued to engineer impossible-to-resolve mysteries" through his creation of literature's most radical experiment, Einnegans Wake.

Download or read book Finnegans Wake written by John Gordon and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1986-12-01 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only full-length study of Finnegans Wake to outline and catalog the immense amount of naturalistic detail from which Joyce built the book. The opening chapters describe the physical setting, time, and main characters out of which the book is constructed. John Gordon argues that behind this detail is an essentially autobiographical story involving Joyce's history and, in particular, his feelings toward his father, wife, daughter and the older brother who died in infancy. Many of the author's findings are new and likely to be controversial because recent criticism has tended to the belief that what he attempts to do cannot be done. This new study of Finnegans Wake represents a radically conservative approach and is intended to function both as a guide to the newcomer seeking a chapter-by-chapter plot summary and as an original contribution to Joyce criticism.

Book excerpt: As James Joyce was working on Finnegans Wake, he asked his friend T.S. Eliot to shepherd an early extract, simply known as 'Work in Progress' into print. This celebrated episode, Anna Livia Plurabelle, was the first part of Joyce's extraordinary text to be published in England, printed in pamphlet form in 1930. It became the best-known section of Finnegans Wake, and one of Joyce's favourites; revised and published independently more times than any other piece. This new edition in the Faber Modern Classics series includes a new foreword by Edna O'Brien. 'His writing is not about something; it is that something itself.' Samuel Beckett
