Remembering the Sound of Words is a major new studyof four of
modern literature's most important writers--and the first serious
attempt to account for complex sound effects in prose Adam Piette
establishes fascinating new links between such sound effects and
the representation of memory in literary texts. He sets out a
workable taxonomy of sound-repetitions in prose and formulates,
throught a theory of alternating-devices, the ways in which the
reader's attention is drawn to the acoustic surface of the text.
Through close analysis of Mallarm 'e's prose-poetry, Proust's
musical syntax, Joyce's memory-rhymes (from the Portrait of the
Artist through Ulysses to Finegan's Wake ), and Beckett's prose and
drama, Piette demonstrates that sound effects act as intricate
reminders of memory-traces in the text. Despite wide divergence in
these four writers' representations of memory, the book shows that
the use of this memory-rhyme technique is common to them all, and
is emplyed in particular to express the textual migration of past
key-words, self-centred comic tyranny, and the fitful unifaction of
body and memory within the narrative voice. This book is intended
for scholars and students of
