Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course offers an introduction to Joyce studies. Focusing on his early and middle period, it will discuss Joyce's contribution to high modernism, his intertexual recycling of ancient and modern source material, his Jesuit background, his semi-colonial status as an Irish exile, etc. With regard to Joyce's self-fashioning as an artist, the importance of the years spent in Trieste - the polyglot melting pot of the Habsburg Empire - will be considered. Finally the transformation of Joyce into a literary character by posterity will be looked at.

As Joyce's texts are notoriously difficult to read, genuine interest and commitment are essential for participation.
