توضیحات
James Joyce Ulysses by Vincent Sherry is ambitious in scope. James Joyce Ulysses provides concise and lucid introductions to major works of world literature from classical antiquity to the twentieth century. It is not confined to any single literary tradition or genre, and forms a substantial library of textbooks on some of the most important and widely read literary masterpieces.
In this engaging 2004 introduction, Vincent Sherry combines a close reading of Ulysses with critical arguments. He provides a useful guide to the episodic sequence of Joyce’s novel. In addition, he presents a searching interpretation of this masterwork, addressing the major issues in Ulysses criticism. He shows how Joyce’s modernist epic remodels Homer’s Odyssey; he examines and explains Joyce’s extraordinary verbal experiments; and he reads anew the most challenging language of the text, the words through which the characters reveal their secret lives. He also reclaims the landmark status of.
This book is a remarkable achievement; it is a pleasure to read —exquisitely crafted, and eloquently rendered . . . Vincent Sherry has joined a great deal of unobtrusive erudition with a rare talent for exposing the pressure of the unsaid on the said to produce a wonderfully assimilative and stimulating introduction to Ulysses.’ Vicki Mahaffey, University of Pennsylvania `
A fine guide for the reader who is encountering Ulysses for the first time, this book has much to offer to the experienced scholar. Vincent Sherry’s discussions of style and structure are conducted with great tact and perception. His handling of the Homeric parallels is especially interesting, since he uses the resources of contemporary critical theory to illuminate this important aspect of Joyce’s achievement.’ A. Walton Litz, Holmes Professor of English Literature, Princeton University `
Vincent Sherry’s sharp, eloquent, historically-based analyses will inform and challenge the newcomer to Joyce while opening new perspectives to the veteran reader. This is the best introduction to Ulysses since Hugh Kenner’s Ulysses.’ Robert Spoo, Editor, James Joyce Quarterly
