This monograph describes and queries the activity of reading prompted by the intertextuality and narrative of James Joyce's \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e (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 \u003ci\u003eOdyssey\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e, and of how authority functions in the developing critical reception of \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e since its publication. Through the prisms of \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e and 'the Joyce industry' this monograph provides new perspectives on the author-reader-text triad in the wider field of literary criticism: diving into layered histories of concepts, challenges, and retreats in order to ask how we read now.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers the first extended exploration of authority in the reception of a canonical modernist author\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-centres Homer in \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e and its reception\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents an innovative approach to issues of reading by marrying new, close textual analysis of sections of \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e with critical, archival, and literary reception studies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuggests a new understanding of literary and critical acts of reading and authorship\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKeywords\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eJames Joyce, Homer, theories of reading, authorship, classical reception, metacriticism \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSubject: Literature\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophie Corser\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474481434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474481434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Sophie Corser","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44065834631423,"sku":"9781474481434","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e5c95f9-5373-4759-bda5-6d367a7e680b.jpg?v=1685403777","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-readers-joyce-sophie-corser-9781474481434","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
