Description
By showing Joyce's continued relevance to literary scholarship in the new century, Twenty-First Joyce previews the future of James Joyce studies. The essays feature Joycean takes on various types of literary criticism, including linguistics, comparative studies, translation, and aesthetics. Some of the foremost Joycean scholars provide particularly strong examples of the value of cultural and comparative studies brought to bear on his work, and they demonstrate the extent to which James Joyce has affected and influenced our cultural, political, historical, social, and artistic awareness in the past century and his relevance and significance for the present.
Reviews / Votes
The diversity of issues in this collection is more than ample testimony not only to the continuing popularity of James Joyce but also to the seemingly endless fascination he generates in novel critical ways in which his work may be profitably addressed. If Joyce studies in the 21st century are as diverse and rewarding as the splendid essays compiled by Ellen Carol Jones and Morris Beja, there is no end in sight as to what possibilities Joyce will offer his readers. - from the foreword by Zack BowenMore details
