Joyce's erudition is phenomenal here in essays, articles, reviews, and letters, the first, "Trust Not Appearances," written when he was just 14 years old. From the beginning, he was recognized as a skilled writer. He shows masterly skills in classic argument. Yet his topics often point to the ordinary, with clarity and wit. ( ) An interesting assembly of various pieces of non-fiction from Joyce, assembled over the course of his career. There are reviews, lectures, essays, and all sorts of key features to understand who Joyce was and where he came from. Overall, I think it's a good read if you want to understand Joyce better. 3 stars. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Although best known for his novels, James Joyce also wrote extensively on the subjects of cultural history, literature, politics, and censorship. This compilation highlights some of the Irish author's best nonfiction, featuring newspaper and magazine articles, essays, and transcriptions of lectures. Many of these selections, which offer insights into the development of Joyce's distinctive literary voice, are studied in schools around the world. Writings on the culture and heritage of Ireland include "Today and Tomorrow in Ireland," "The Soul of Ireland," "Ireland: Island of Saints and Sages," and "The Irish Literary Renaissance." Critical writings on literature reflect Joyce's influences from "Oscar Wilde: The Poet of 'Salomé'" to "Ibsen's New Drama" and "The Centenary of Charles Dickens." Additional selections include "The Study of Languages," "An Irish Poet," "The Shade of Parnell," "On the Moral Right of Authors," and other enlightening articles. AUTHOR: Sooner or later, most undergraduates encounter him, and some scholars devote their careers to his exuberantly eloquent prose. James Joyce (1882-1941) led the vanguard of 20th-century fiction, and his experimental use of language and stream-of-consciousness technique continues to captivate, intrigue, and influence modern readers and writers.
