James Joyce and the Nineteenth-Century French Novel
Series: - European Joyce Studies, Volume: 19
- European Joyce Studies, Volume: 19
The essays of this volume show how Joyce’s work engaged with the many upheavals and revolutions within the French nineteenth-century novel and its contexts. They delve into the complexities of this engagement, tracing its twists and turns, and reemerge with fascinating and rich discoveries. The contributors explore Joyce’s explicit and implicit responses to Alexandre Dumas, Honoré de Balzac, Victor Hugo and Émile Zola and, of course, Flaubert. Drawing from the wide range of Joyce’s writings -
Dubliners,
A Portrait...,
Ulysses,
Finnegans Wake, and his life, letters, and essays - they resituate Joyce’s relation to France, the novel, and the nineteenth century.
"These essays effectively analyze unexplored areas of the influence of the nineteenth-century French novel on Joyce and achieve the ‘fascinating and rich discoveries’ the editors promise in their introduction. […] The essays create trails not followed before and invite others to join them." – Sherry Burgus Little,
San Diego State University, in:
James Joyce Quarterly 49/1 (2011), pp. 176-179
