Does intertextuality consist of more than simple references by one text to another? In \u003cem\u003eImagining Joyce and Derrida\u003c\/em\u003e, Peter Mahon explores these questions through a comparative study of James Joyce's \u003cem\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/em\u003e and the deconstructive texts of Jacques Derrida, with a particular emphasis on \u003cem\u003eGlas\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMahon's reading of these works insists on thinking through Derrida's 'Hegelian' manner of understanding Joyce. Using key texts of Vico, Kant, and Heidegger, Mahon develops a theoretical framework that allows him to theorize and re-conceptualize the intertextuality between Joyce and Derrida in terms of the imagination. In order to test the flexibility of this imaginative framework, Mahon applies it to a sustained comparison of \u003cem\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/em\u003e and Derrida's under-appreciated masterwork, \u003cem\u003eGlas\u003c\/em\u003e. In so doing, Mahon reconfigures and expands the intertextual terrain between Joyce and Derrida beyond a simple catalogue of those instances where Derrida cites Joyce. Engaging and innovative, this erudite study makes an important contribution to literary critical theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Mahon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802092497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802092496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.40w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 275","brand":"Peter Mahon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453393154303,"sku":"9780802092496","price":97.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dd5351e0-cbd4-4a49-9962-53e4047372b4.jpg?v=1777300006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/imagining-joyce-and-derrida-peter-mahon-9780802092496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
