Free Download Eleni Loukopoulou, "Up to Maughty London: Joyce’s Cultural Capital in the Imperial Metropolis "
English | ISBN: 0813062241 | 2017 | 356 pages | PDF | 3 MB
The effect of Dublin-and other cities such as Trieste, Zurich, and Paris-on James Joyce and his works has been studied extensively, but few Joyceans have explored the impact of London on the trajectory of his literary career. In Up to Maughty London, Eleni Loukopoulou offers the first sustained account of Joyce’s engagement with the imperial metropolis. She considers both London’s status as a matrix for political and cultural formations and how the city is reimagined in Joyce’s work.

Free Download Hilary Clark, "The Fictional Encyclopaedia: Joyce, Pound, Sollers"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 0415668336 | PDF | pages: 214 | 4.6 mb
First published in 1990, this work offers an analysis of the phenomenon of encyclopaedism in literature. Hilary Clark develops the theory of an encyclopaedic form in the interests of making clear distinctions between the realist narrative form and that of the encyclopaedic-parodic or fictional encyclopaedia. She makes clear the special links that non-realist, parodic fictions have with the forms of essay, Menippean satire and epic, and indeed with the encyclopaedia itself. The study pays particular attention to the way in which literary encyclopaedism has flourished in the twentieth century, with special reference to the works of James Joyce, Ezra Pound and Philippe Sollers.

Free Download M. Keith Booker, "Ulysses, Capitalism, and Colonialism: Reading Joyce After the Cold War "
English | 2000 | ISBN: 0313312435 | PDF | pages: 240 | 13.6 mb
The work of James Joyce, especially Ulysses, can be fully understood only when the colonial and postcolonial context of Joyce’s Ireland is taken into account. Reading Joyce as a postcolonial writer produces valuable new insights into his work, though comparisons of Joyce’s work with that of African and Caribbean postcolonial writers provides reminders that Joyce, regardless of his postcolonial status, remains a fundamentally European writer whose perspective differs substantially from that of most other postcolonial writers. In addition to exploring Joyce’s writings in light of recent developments in postcolonial theory, Booker employs a Marxist critical approach to assess the political implications of Joyce’s work and examines the influence of Cold War anticommunism on previous readings of Joyce in the West.

Free Download Frank Shovlin, "Journey Westward: Joyce, Dubliners and the Literary Revival"
English | 2012 | pages: 193 | ISBN: 1846318238, 1781380023 | PDF | 1,9 mb
This book suggests that James Joyce, like Yeats and his fellow Revivalists, was attracted to the west of Ireland as a place of authenticity and freedom. It shows how his acute historical sensibility is reflected in Dubliners, posing new questions about one of the most enduring collections of short stories ever written. The answers provided are a fusion of history and literary criticism, using close readings that balance techniques of realism and symbolism. The result is an original study that shines new light on Dubliners and Joyce’s later masterpieces.
