Exiles: A Critical Edition: Florida James Joyce

Autor James Joyce Editat de A. Nicholas Fargnoli, Michael Patrick Gillespie
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 apr 2016
Joyce s one play finally gets the critical attention it deserves. Sam Slote, coeditor of "Renascent Joyce"
Carefully selected discussions illuminate both Joyce s "Exiles" and Joyce s exile and, as well, the sense of exile throughout Joyce s work. Morris Beja, coeditor of "Bloomsday 100: Essays on "Ulysses
A major contribution to Joyce studies: a fine introduction, a critical text of "Exiles" that faithfully restores Joyce s stylistic practices, and a collection of incisive critical essays from the era of Kenner and Tindall to the present. Stephen Watt, author of " Something Dreadful and Grand": American Literature and the Irish-Jewish Imagination"
For virtually everyone in any phase of the infinite enterprise that is coming to grips with the Joycean corpus, this volume will be a godsend. Margot Backus, author of "Scandal Work: James Joyce, the New Journalism, and the Home Rule Newspaper Wars"
Joyce s only extant play, "Exiles," is also his least appreciated work. Its form and its content daunting even to Joyceans create interpretive issues for readers and theater audiences who expect the deeper pleasures derived from "Dubliners" or "Ulysses. "Confronting a host of assumptions, misprisions, and prejudices, A. Nicholas Fargnoli and Michael Patrick Gillespie contend that the play deserves the same serious study as Joyce s fiction and stands on the cutting edge of modern drama.
The introduction situates "Exiles" in the context of Irish history and Joyce s other works. It highlights its often-overlooked complexity and closely examines the creative and domestic forces that contributed to the imaginative ethos from which the play emerged. The text of the play is newly annotated and unregularized, appearing for the first time as Joyce originally intended. This edition concludes with a range of critical responses, including essays on the confessional mode, characterization, and allegory, as well as an interview with Richard Nash, who has both directed and acted in the play."

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'That is my fear. That I stand between her and any moments of life that should be hers...'Set against the backdrop of the Home Rule Crisis of 1912, Exiles is James Joyce's only surviving play. It tells the story of writer Richard Rowan and his common-law wife Bertha, characters drawn from Joyce's own life with Nora Barnacle. After a decade of absence from Dublin, Richard and Bertha have returned home from Rome, still unmarried, with their young son Archie. Richard hopes that he will be greeted as a returning genius and rewarded with a comfortable university position. But this aspiration ends up taking a back seat to the erotic crisis that is unleashed by the couple's return to the place where they first met, and their encounters with two old flames and friends.In this play, Joyce revisits his own agonizing feelings of jealousy that were precipitated by similar trips home to Dublin.In the introduction and notes, Keri Walsh provides a comprehensive look issues of gender, sexuality, and performance as well as considering the nationalist and sectarian contexts of Dublin in 1912, the year of the play's setting.

Recenzii

The book is complete with Walsh's useful notes and a well-established text and can safely be recommended to students.

Notă biografică

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 - 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde and is regarded as one of the most influential and important authors of the 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, most famously stream of consciousness. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, his published letters and occasional journalism. Joyce was born in 41 Brighton Square, Rathgar, Dublin, into a middle-class family. A brilliant student, he briefly attended the Christian Brothers-run O'Connell School before excelling at the Jesuit schools Clongowes and Belvedere, despite the chaotic family life imposed by his father's alcoholism and unpredictable finances. He went on to attend University College Dublin. In 1904, in his early twenties, Joyce emigrated to continental Europe with his partner (and later wife) Nora Barnacle. They lived in Trieste, Paris, and Zurich. Although most of his adult life was spent abroad, Joyce's fictional universe centres on Dublin, and is populated largely by characters who closely resemble family members, enemies and friends from his time there. Ulysses in particular is set with precision in the streets and alleyways of the city. Shortly after the publication of Ulysses, he elucidated this preoccupation somewhat, saying, "For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal."
