Coping With Joyce: Essays from the Copenhagen Symposium

by Morris Beja

Transcripts of five major addresses and thirteen other essays reflecting the most recent Joyce scholarship as manifested at the 1986 symposium. Ranging widely over the body of Joyce's work, but with somewhat stronger emphasis on Ulysses and Finnegans wake, these articles apply varied analytical approaches such as the process indicated by verbs, modernist ideology, cinema, pedagogy, and ALP's final monologue. Appropriately, perhaps, there is here a great deal of language awareness, both fundamentally and as epiphenomena these writers delight in puns as well as incisive scholarship.
