Voices on Joyce gathers together interpretations of Joyce's work by
scholars in a wide span of disciplines: music, history, literature,
philosophy, sport, geography, modern languages, economics, theatre
studies and law. The depth and range of James Joyce's relationship
with key historical, intellectual and cultural issues in the early
twentieth century are explored, including: the growth of Dublin as
a city, the advance of Irish separatist nationalism, criminal
trials in late nineteenth-century Ireland, the influence of
Classical authors such as Aristotle and Ovid, the Irish Literary
Revival, the value of operatic music, notions of the aesthetic and
of a democratic readership, and the history and social import of
Jewish communities and traditions. The twenty essays in this
collection draw out the openness and pluralism of Joyce's writing
and underscore the need for readings of his work from a large
variety of diverging perspectives. The wide ranging voices in this
collection are composed by present and former UCD academics, and
constitute a unique reckoning with the legacy of Joyce by members
of his alma mater.A portrait of Joyce emerges as a writer deeply
embedded in Irish intellectual discourses and as a figure of vital
on-going importance in the social and cultural debates of
twenty-first century Ireland. Photos interleaving the essays by the
modernist and photojournalist, Lee Miller, taken in Dublin in 1946,
provide vivid images of Joycean locations and of their artistic
reimagining.
