Collected Epiphanies of James Joyce: A Critical Edition - Sangam Macduff

Descriere Collected Epiphanies of James Joyce: A Critical Edition - Sangam Macduff

\nJoyce's early texts, which informed his later masterpieces, available for the first time in a comprehensive critical edition \n \nThis book offers the first critical edition of the forty short texts James Joyce called epiphanies. Among Joyce's earliest literary compositions, although published posthumously, the epiphanies are a series of highly polished miniatures, many of which Joyce reused in his later writings. By presenting the epiphanies with background details and thorough annotations, this edition provides a vivid insight into his art. \n \nCollected Epiphanies of James Joyce features an introduction to the texts that summarizes Joyce's concept of epiphany; their biographical and cultural context; their echoes and adaptations in Stephen Hero, Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake; and their critical reception and editorial history. Each epiphany is transcribed directly from its original manuscript, accompanied by extensive notes that include more information specific to each piece, as well as textual variants. \n \nStyled as prose poems, dramatic sketches, or combinations of the two, the epiphanies can be seen not only as lyrical counterparts to Joyce's poetry in Chamber Music but also as bridges to the writer's landmark fiction. This collection demonstrates that the epiphanies offer a paradigm case for studying the development of Joyce's work as a whole, prompting a reassessment of their literary significance. \n \n\n \nA volume in the Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sam Slote\n
