Description



About the Book



"The primary focus of the twelve essays in this collection is on the craft of James Joyce and the profound challenge it has posed for subsequent writers from the 1940s to the present day. First, each writer's positioning of him or herself in relation to the professed Joycean legacy is discussed, often with reference to archival material, then explication of the creative work illuminates those moments where mere mimicry, parody, or allusion becomes conjoined with original expression to create a new form. Writers as diverse as Kate O'Brien, Brendan Behan, and Frank McCourt pay direct tribute to Joyce's inspiration, while others such as J.G. Farrell, George Orwell, and Patrick McCabe engage with the Joycean critique of history; postmodernists such as Anthony Burgess, Raymond Carver, and Iain Sinclair revisit Joycean linguistic and generic innovation in unexpected ways, while Derek Walcott and Persian modernist Sedaq Hedayat represent two views of Joyce's enduring global legacy. Featuring a Preface by Derek Attridge, the volume will fill a real gap in scholarship on Joyce's complex influence on contemporary literature biographically, textually, stylistically and generically.

Book Synopsis



These twelve essays analyze the complex pleasures and problems of engaging with James Joyce for subsequent writers, discussing Joyce's textual, stylistic, formal, generic, and biographical influence on an intriguing selection of Irish, British, American, and postcolonial writers from the 1940s to the twenty-first century.



Review Quotes




"The essays in this collection draw upon letters, unpublished papers and personal accounts to offer valuable insights into each author's personal encounter with Joyce. ... Undoubtedly a splendid opening, this collection might best be followed by more specialised studies of Joycean influence in certain spheres: twentieth century American and Latin American novelists, for example. An undergraduate or casual reader may also find that the well-edited Joycean Legacies renders the seemingly 'impossible question' of Joyce's impact and influence far more approachable." (Tobias Harris, James Joyce Broadsheet, Issue 104, June, 2016)

"The volume as a whole succeeds in sketching a panorama of Joycean influences which casts a light on the complexities of inheritance and tradition - especially when that tradition is predicated upon innovation and 'the new'. ... Joycean Legacy is faithful to this intent ... and is definitely worth reading for all those who wish to encompass the ramifications of Joyce's hypertextual resonances - whether deliberate or accidental - and the problems set by his institutionalization." (Philippe Birgy, Miranda, miranda.revues.org, 2016)

"For anyone working in the field of Joyce and subsequent literature it goes without saying this book is a necessity. It has started a legacy all of its own, and long may it be added legs by more and more such work being condensed into collective or single-author studies on this very subject. A timely tome on Joyce's enduring timelessness." (Daniel Bristow, Irish Studies Review, Vol. 24 (2), 2016)
