Goldman brings together a tremendous group of scholars, critics, and legal practitioners whose rich perspectives set the terms for an enduring conversation on the place of law in Joyce and in culture broadly conceived.\"--Ravit Reichman, author of \u003ci\u003eThe Affective Life of Law: Legal Modernism and the Literary Imagination\u003c\/i\u003e \"Gives us a new map of the busy intersection of Joyce and law. This volume's contributors rise to the challenge, taking on everything from laws of marriage, immigration, and finance to regimes of intellectual property, libel, and obscenity. \u003ci\u003eJoyce and the Law\u003c\/i\u003e is as varied and surprising as the law itself.\"--Paul K. Saint-Amour, author of \u003ci\u003eTense Future: Modernism, Total War, Encyclopedic Form\u003c\/i\u003e \"Draws together an international cohort of Joyce scholars with specialist knowledge in legal considerations shaping events and characters' motivations in Joyce's writing.\"--Margot Gayle Backus, author of \u003ci\u003eScandal Work: James Joyce, the New Journalism, and the Home Rule Newspaper Wars\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003eMaking the case that legal issues are central to James Joyce's life and work, international experts in law and literature offer new insights into Joyce's most important texts. They analyze \u003ci\u003eDubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Giacomo Joyce, Ulysses\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e in light of the legal contexts of Joyce's day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics include marriage laws, the Aliens Act of 1905, laws governing display and use of language, minority rights debates, municipal self-government, rentier culture, and regulations on alcohol consumption and licensing. This volume also highlights Joyce's own fascination with law and legal inquiry and explores how, by adopting a unique visual and linguistic style, Joyce constructed an authorial identity that mirrored the process of trademark. It also offers a deeper understanding of Judge John Woolsey's decision in the Ulysses obscenity case and reveals the many ways copyright has affected publication of Joyce's work and the scholarly and aesthetic use of his words. These discussions show how reading Joyce alongside the law enriches both legal studies and literary scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eJonathan Goldman\u003c\/b\u003e, associate professor of English at New York Institute of Technology, is the author of \u003ci\u003eModernism Is the Literature of Celebrity\u003c\/i\u003e and coeditor of \u003ci\u003eModernist Star Maps: Celebrity, Modernity, Culture.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Goldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813054745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813054742\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Jonathan Goldman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059812462847,"sku":"9780813054742","price":84.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_418f0be5-772d-4c5c-8a3b-212f4e3a19c9.jpg?v=1685060485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/joyce-and-the-law-jonathan-goldman-9780813054742","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
