In this book - one of the first ecocritical explorations of Irish
literature - Alison Lacivita defies the popular view of James Joyce
as a thoroughly urban writer by bringing to light his consistent
engagement with nature. Using genetic criticism to investigate
Joyce's source texts, notebooks, and proofs, Lacivita shows how
Joyce developed ecological themes in Finnegans Wake over successive
drafts. Making apparent a love of growing things and a lively
connection with the natural world across his texts, Lacivita's
approach reveals Joyce's keen attention to the Irish landscape,
meteorology, urban planning, Dublin's ecology, the exploitation of
nature, and fertilityand reproduction. Lacivita unearths a vital
quality of Joyce's work that has largely gone undetected,
decisively aligning ecocriticism with both modernism and Irish
studies.
