Making Space in the Works of James Joyce

By Valerie Benejam

Book Overview

James Joyce's preoccupation with space-be it urban, geographic, stellar, geometrical or optical-is a central and idiosyncratic feature of his work. In this volume some of the most esteemed scholars in Joyce studies have come together to evaluate the perception and mental construction of space as it is evoked through Joyce's writing. With essays addressing all of Joyce's major works, this volume is a critical contribution to our understanding of modernism, as well as the relationship between space, language, and literature.
