James Joyce, Irish novelist, noted for his experimental use of language in such works as Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939). Joyce's technical innovations in the art of the novel include an extensive use of interior monologue; he used a complex network of symbolic parallels drawn from the mythology, history, and literature, and created a unique language of invented words, puns, and allusions.
James Joyce was born in Dublin, on February 2, 1882, as the son of John Stanislaus Joyce, an impoverished gentleman, who had failed in a distillery business and tried all kinds of professions, including politics and tax collecting. Joyce's mother, Mary Jane Murray, was ten years younger than her husband. She was an accomplished pianist, whose life was dominated by the Roman Catholic Church. In spite of their poverty, the family struggled to maintain a solid middle-class facade.
Through what Joyce described as their "style of scrupulous meanness," the stories present a direct, sometimes searing view of Dublin in the early twentieth century. The text of this Norton Critical Edition is based on renowned Joyce scholar Hans Walter Gabler's edited text and includes his editorial notes and the introduction to his scholarly edition, which details and discusses Dubliners' complicated publication history. "Contexts" offers a rich collection of materials that bring the stories and the Irish capital to life for twenty-first century readers, including photographs, newspaper articles and advertising, early versions of two of the stories and a satirical poem by Joyce about his publication woes. "Criticism" brings together eight illuminating essays on the most frequently taught stories in Dubliners-"Araby," "Eveline," "After the Race," "The Boarding House," "Counterpoints," "A Painful Case," and "The Dead." Contributors include David G. Wright, Heyward Ehrlich, Margot Norris, James Fairhall, Fritz Senn, Morris Beja, Roberta Jackson, and Vincent J. Cheng.
大学时候翻过《尤利西斯》,五六十页的样子,没有耐性读完。日常生活中你留给别人的第一印象很关键,好恶常由此决定。读书,与作家相遇,也是这个道理。80年代生人大都不喜鲁迅,一定程度是学生时代逢先生作品必要背诵留下的阴影。初看《尤利西斯》,宛如天书,我甚至想自...
评分据说“不做无聊之事,何遣有涯之生”。倚声家自张门面之意,倒也不失为恬然自适。厕上读小说诚然煮鹤焚琴,然小说确可算得上发端于无聊的罢,陈思王“澡迄敷粉”、“科头拍袒”对着邯郸淳跳丸击剑所诵的“诽优小说”虽不是现代意义上的叙事体小说,其消遣之作用、娱情之雅意实...
评分乔伊斯自言是以“一种处心积虑的卑琐的文体”写作本书,这是我看完后才得知的。是的,跟<尤利西斯>相比的确称得上是。 第一人称叙述只存在于并完全占据了童年部分的三篇小说,可以说是对角色意识最全知的三篇。乔伊斯也很理所当然地捉住了这个机会,一照面就更为直接地向读者...
评分什么是小说和什么是好的小说,这是两个问题。前者智者见者,而且可以有若干种分类,但对于后者,有而且只有一个本质用来衡量:洞察人性的幽微与复杂。伟大、卓越和经典的小说,在我看来,至少还有一个致命的因素:卓越的前瞻性。 《都柏林人》不仅符合这以上特质,且还有两个不...
评分In literature, a symbol is a thing that stands for or suggests something else by reason of relationship, association, convention or accidental resemblance, especially a visible sign of something invisible. [1] Sometimes, symbols are created by the artists...
One of the greatest collection of short stories. The modernist author, James Joyce, effectively explored Irish nationalism, Irish orientalism, and Irish inferiority complex. Recurring themes and devices: epiphany, paralysis, doomed fate of Irish nationalist movement.
