James Joyce and the Act of Reception is the first detailed account
of Joyce's own engagement with the reception of his work. It shows
how Joyce's writing, from the earliest fiction to Finnegans Wake,
addresses the social conditions of reading (particularly in
Ireland). Most notably, it echoes and transforms the responses of
some of Joyce's actual readers, from family and friends to key
figures such as Eglinton and Yeats. This study argues that the
famous 'unreadable' quality of Joyce's writing is a crucial feature
of its historical significance. Not only does Joyce engage with the
cultural contexts in which he was read but, by inscribing versions
of his own contemporary reception within his writing, he determines
that his later readers read through the responses of earlier ones.
In its focus on the local and contemporary act of reception,
Joyce's work is seen to challenge critical accounts of both
modernism and deconstruction.
