In this book-one of the first ecocritical explorations of both
Irish literature and modernism-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 fertility and
reproduction. Lacivita unearths a vital quality of Joyce's work
that has largely gone undetected, decisively aligning ecocriticism
with both modernism and Irish studies.
