The Cambridge Companion to James Joyce
The Cambridge Companion to James Joyce
The Cambridge Companion to James Joyce is an indispensable scholarly guide to one of the world's most important and influential writers. Fifteen chapters, each written by a leading Joyce scholar, address each of Joyce's major works, key contexts and important themes. This is both an accessible introduction for students and a lively resource for teachers and researchers. This is a much revised and expanded third edition, featuring eleven entirely new essays and four revised essays. The editorial matter (chronology and guide to further reading) has been written from scratch. The third edition creates more space for Joyce's fascination with gender, sex and bodies, and provides renewed attention to his engagement with Irish history. Scholarship on ecocriticism, serialization, editing and publishing is also represented for the first time. Joyce's most influential work, Ulysses, has two dedicated chapters covering different aspects and perspectives, as well as an chapter on its serialization.
- Provides chapters dedicated to each of Joyce's major works, with two essays on Ulysses
- Essays address major themes across Joyce's work as a whole, linking it to main historical, literary and theoretical contexts
- Contains a range of perspectives allowing readers to see this complex figure from many viewpoints
