Book Description
The man who wrote Ulysses also had quite a lot to say about Irish history, the Irish character and the nature of everything. His novel may have been boring, or unalloyed genius - but there is no question that he could be very funny when he wanted to be. The whole question of the relationship between Britain and Ireland, the famine, the Empire and the 12 centuries of British rule is a complex and difficult one, which is brought to light by this careful selection of great thoughts about Irish history.

James Joyce and the Irish Revolution

Author: Luke Gibbons
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226824489
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 340

Book Description
A provocative history of Ulysses and the Easter Rising as harbingers of decolonization. When revolutionaries seized Dublin during the 1916 Easter Rising, they looked back to unrequited pasts to point the way toward radical futures—transforming the Celtic Twilight into the electric light of modern Dublin in James Joyce’s Ulysses. For Luke Gibbons, the short-lived rebellion converted the Irish renaissance into the beginning of a global decolonial movement. James Joyce and the Irish Revolution maps connections between modernists and radicals, tracing not only Joyce’s projection of Ireland onto the world stage, but also how revolutionary leaders like Ernie O’Malley turned to Ulysses to make sense of their shattered worlds. Coinciding with the centenary of both Ulysses and Irish independence, this book challenges received narratives about the rebellion and the novel that left Ireland changed, changed utterly.
