A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake
Author: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1577314050
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
Since its publication in 1939, countless would-be readers of "Finnegans Wake" - James Joyce's masterwork, which consumed a third of his life - have given up after a few pages, dismissing it as a "perverse triumph of the unintelligible." In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first "key" or guide to entering the fascinating, disturbing, marvelously rich world of "Finnegans Wake." The authors break down Joyce's "unintelligible" book page by page, stripping the text of much of its obscurity and serving up thoughtful interpretations via footnotes and bracketed commentary. They outline the book's basic action, and then simplify -- and clarify -- its complex web of images and allusions. "A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake" is the latest addition to the "Collected Works of Joseph Campbell" series.

Narrative Design in Finnegans Wake
Author: R. J. Schork
Publisher: Florida James Joyce Series
ISBN: 9780813014654
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
"The first book in fifty years...that actually presents a central thesis for the entire work." -Bernard Benstock "An unusual book, often illuminating, sometimes annoying, often well researched, sometimes mistaken.... Written in a simple and direct style immediately accessible to undergraduates as well as to more practiced readers." -Clive Hart, University of Essex Making bold claims for a new literary interpretation, Harry Burrell presents a forceful analytical model for understanding Joyce's Finnegans Wake. He argues that Joyce used the genesis story of Adam and Eve as his underlying narrative and interwove it with themes and images from literature and history, thus rewriting the Bible, abolishing the wicked God of the Old Testament, and replacing Him with a gentle, loving female goddess. Critics and readers of Finnegans Wake have long yearned for "a thread of English meaning" and "a grand unified theory" for the novel but until now have been unable to penetrate its surface language. Burrell unscrambles the puzzle and reveals the basic underlying scheme that allows the reader to connect its extremely diverse parts into a comprehensible narrative. He explains who all the characters are and how Joyce disguised them while utilizing their identities. Burrell brings a scientist's approach to his task of interpretation. This strong, probing reading of Finnegans Wake is bound to stimulate controversy and extensive discussion among Joyce lovers. Harry Burrell is a retired research chemist and former associate professor of chemistry at Xavier University in Cincinnati. He is the author of numerous articles in technical journals as well as several articles for A Wake Newslitter.

Understanding Bergson, Understanding Modernism
Author: Paul Ardoin
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1441188371
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
Henri Bergson is frequently cited amongst the holy trinity of major influences on Modernism-literary and otherwise-alongside Sigmund Freud and William James. Gilles Deleuze's Bergsonism has re-popularized Bergson for the 21st century, so much so that, perhaps, our Bergson is Deleuze's Bergson. Despite renewed interest in Bergson, his influence remains understudied and consequently undervalued. While books examining the impact of Freud and James on Modernism abound, Bergson's impact, though widely acknowledged, has been closely examined much more rarely. Understanding Bergson, Understanding Modernism remedies this deficiency in three ways. First, it offers close readings and critiques of six pivotal texts. Second, it reassesses Bergson's impact on Modernism while also tracing his continuing importance to literature, media, and philosophy throughout the twentieth and into the 21st century. In its final section it provides an extended glossary of Bergsonian terms, complete with extensive examples and citations of their use across his texts. The glossary also maps the influence of Bergson's work by including entries on related writers, all of whom Bergson either corresponded with or critiqued.
