‘Finnegans Wake’ assesses James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939). In Finnegans Wake, Joyce attempted to write a book which would take all history and knowledge for its subject matter and the workings of the dreaming mind for its form. Four themes surround the book: language, the family, sexuality, and death. In Joyce’s attempt to break away from the ‘evidences’ of conventional narrative with its fixed causality and temporality, two Italian thinkers, Giordano Bruno and Giambattista Vico, were of profound importance in the writing of Finnegans Wake. Bruno and Vico are used in Finnegans Wake to aid the deconstruction of identity into difference and to replace progress with repetition.

‘A Portrait’ examines James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). In January of 1904, Joyce wrote an autobiographical essay entitled ‘A Portrait of the Artist’. The essay sketches a life, complete with religious disillusion, romantic love, and visits to brothels, which is recognizably the life of Stephen Dedalus. After the essay was rejected for publication, Joyce sat down and began a long autobiographical novel with the provisional title Stephen Hero. This draft would become A Portrait, which is constructed on a dialectic of masculine identity and female disidentification.

‘Dubliners’ discusses James Joyce’s Dubliners (1914). The majority of these stories are not susceptible to a straightforward narrative summary and the most learned of critics understand the stories in the most contradictory fashion. Indeed, multiple narratives which defy any resolution are one of the key strategies of Dubliners. In addition, place in Dubliners is tightly tied to time. Joyce characterized his stories as a ‘chapter in the moral history of my country’. The themes of the stories include hospitality, the figure of the mother, and Dublin’s inability to live.

‘The Aunt Josephine Paradox’ begins by highlighting the legacy and impact of James Joyce’s works on the legalization of same-sex marriages in Ireland, the rejection of the authority of the Roman Catholic Church, and nationalism. It then considers the Aunt Josephine paradox. The Aunt Josephine paradox refers to when Joyce sent a copy of Ulysses to his aunt, Josephine Murray, and she found the book incomprehensible. This provides perhaps the most telling example of the fact that Joyce hoped for a very general readership and underestimated wildly the difficulties that Ulysses posed to the reader. However, these difficulties are not specific to Joyce; they are common to all modernist texts.

‘A publication in post-First World War Paris’ provides an overview of James Joyce’s major works, including Ulysses, Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Finnegans Wake. The theme of exile is central to much of Joyce’s work, as well as questions of sexuality and the rejection of the Catholic Church. The concern with sexuality led many to try and censor Joyce’s work. Thus, his work was often subjected to censorship and criticism. Despite being considered to be the greatest master of prose fiction writing in English, Joyce’s work had to overcome innumerable legal difficulties to find an audience.

‘Ulysses’ focuses on James Joyce’s great novel Ulysses (1922). Ulysses can be thought of as a child of the cinema; both its form and content owe much to the new medium. Joyce’s cinematic technique slows down a single day, 16 June 1904, so that it expands to include ten years’ worth of adventures. These adventures all occur within the familiar setting of Dublin and abandon traditional notions of the heroic epic to find a new kind of heroism in the ordinary everyday life of the modern city. They also propose a radical redefinition of masculinity which repudiates simple binary oppositions between the sexes.
