Joyce, Decadence, and Emancipation
Author: Vivian Heller
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 9780252064852
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Modernism has long been seen as either a symptom of decadence or a sign of emancipation. Vivian Heller argues that Joyce's writing cannot be categorized as either decadent or emancipatory because it is predicated on the dialectical intimacy of these two terms. Heller relies on Joyce's changing use of epiphany to trace the arc of his development, focusing on the negative epiphanies of Dubliners, the relativistic epiphanies of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and the retrospective epiphanies of Ulysses.
