Revival, reinvention, and regeneration: the concept of renascence
pervades Joyce's work through the inescapable presence of his
literary forebears. By persistently re-examining tradition,
reinterpreting his literary heritage in light of the present, and
translating and re-translating from one system of signs to another,
Joyce exhibits the spirit of the greatest of Renaissance writers
and artists. In fact, his writing derives some of its most
important characteristics from Renaissance authors, as this
collection of essays shows. Though critical work has often focused
on Joyce's relationship to medieval thinkers like Thomas Aquinas
and Dante, Renascent Joyce examines Joyce's connection to the
Renaissance in such figures as Shakespeare, Rabelais, and Bruno.
Joyce's own writing can itself be viewed through the rubric of
renascence with the tools of genetic criticism and the many
insights afforded by the translation process. Several essays in
this volume examine this broader idea, investigating the rebirth
and reinterpretation of Joyce's texts. Topics include literary
historiography, Joyce's early twentieth-century French cultural
contexts, and the French translation of Ulysses. Attentive to the
current state of Joyce studies, the writers of these extensively
researched essays investigate the Renaissance spirit in Joyce to
offer a volume at once historically informed and innovative.
