In his comprehensive study of love in James Joyce's writings,
Christopher DeVault suggests that a love ethic persists throughout
Joyce's works. DeVault uses Martin Buber's distinction between the
true love for others and the narcissistic desire for oneself to
frame his discussion, showing that Joyce frequently ties his
characters' personal and political pursuits to their ability to
affirm both their loved ones and their fellow Dubliners. In his
short stories and novels, DeVault argues, Joyce shows how personal
love makes possible a broader social compassion that creates a more
progressive body politic. While his early protagonists' narcissism
limits them to detached engagements with Dublin that impede
effective political action, Joyce demonstrates the viability of his
love ethic through both the Blooms' empathy in Ulysses and the
polylogic dreamtext of Finnegan's Wake. In its revelation of
Joyce's amorous alternative to the social and political paralysis
he famously attributed to twentieth-century Dublin, Joyce's Love
Stories allows for a better appreciation of the ethical and
political significance underpinning the author's assessments of
Ireland.
