The text of Finnegans Wake is not as monolithic as it might seem.
It grew out of a set of short vignettes, sections and fragments.
Several of these sections, which James Joyce confidently claimed
would "fuse of themselves", are still recognizable in the text of
Finnegans Wake. And while they are undeniably integrated very
skillfully, they also function separately. In this publication
history, Dirk Van Hulle examines the interaction between the
private composition process and the public life of Joyce's 'Work in
Progress', from the creation of the separate sections through their
publication in periodicals and as separately published sections.
Van Hulle highlights the beautifully crafted editions published by
fine arts presses and Joyce's encouragement of his daughter's
creative talents, even as his own creative process was slowing down
in the 1930s. All of these pre-book publications were "alive" in
both bibliographic and textual terms, as Joyce continually changed
the texts in order to prepare the book publication of Finnegans
Wake. Van Hulle's book offers a fresh perspective on these texts,
showing that they are not just preparatory versions of Finnegans
Wake but a 'Work in Progress' in their own right.
