Description

The Reader's Joyce engages with core issues of literary studies by rethinking accepted literary, critical, and theoretical notions of the relationships between author, reader and text. Sophie Corser describes and queries the activity of reading prompted by the intertextuality and narrative of James Joyce's Ulysses (1922), focusing on in-depth readings of the novel and its interactions with other texts from classical and contemporary literature to criticism, theory and biography. Central to this approach are new analyses of the now commonly underplayed significance of Homer's Odyssey to Ulysses and of how authority functions in the developing critical reception of Ulysses since its publication. Through the prisms of Ulysses and 'the Joyce industry' this book provides new perspectives on the author reader text triad in the wider field of literary criticism: diving into layered histories of concepts and challenges in order to ask how we read now.
