Description
The new series of Writers and Their Work continues a tradition of innovative critical studies introducing writers and their contexts to a wide range of readers. Drawing upon the most recent thinking in English studies, each book considers biographical material, examines modern criticism, includes a detailed bibliography, and offers a concise but original reappraisal of a writer's major work. The works of James Joyce have long been regarded as central to European modernism. In recent years, it has also become clear what a continuing provocation and source of renewal Joyce's works provide for contemporary cultural theory, especially feminism, postmodernism, and postcolonialism. Steven Connor's book is an animated, accessible introduction to the whole range of Joyce's work, from Dubliners (1914) through to Finnegans Wake (1939). It traces the leading concerns of the work with language, sexual and cultural identity, and the transforming experiences of modernity; and it considers the relations between Joyce and postmodernity.
