Rewriting Joyce’s Europe: The Politics of Language and Visual Design (The Florida James Joyce Series) by Tekla Mecsnóber
Requirements: .PDF reader, 16.6 MB
Overview: Rewriting Joyce’s Europe sheds light on how the text and physical design of James Joyce’s two most challenging works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, reflect changes that transformed Europe between World Wars I and II. Looking beyond the commonly studied Irish historical context of these works, Tekla Mecsnóber calls for more attention to their place among broader cultural and political processes of the interwar era.
Published in 1922 and 1939, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake display Joyce’s keen interest in naming, language choice, and visual aspects of writing. Mecsnóber shows the connections between these literary explorations and the real-world remapping of national borders that was often accompanied by the imposition of new place-names, languages, and alphabets. In addition to drawing on extensive research in newspaper archives as well as genetic criticism, Mecsnóber provides the first comprehensive analysis of meanings suggested by the typographic design of early editions of Joyce’s texts.
