First Published in 1949, The Sacred River attempts to present a
survey of James Joyce's work. In 1932 Mr Strong published an essay
in the course of which he suggested that Work in Progress was the
first full scale application to the novel of twentieth century
ideas on space and time, demanding from the reader a radical change
in practice. The essay was read by Joyce, and the theory
subsequently confirmed. From that point Mr Strong has continued his
study of Joyce. This work is limited to four main lines of
approach: interest in singing and singers, a passion with Joyce;
literature, in particular Shakespeare, Swift, Blake, and the
Romantic Movement, of which the author believes Finnegans Wake to
be the logical fulfilment; contemporary theories of psychology; and
Christian metaphysics. Mr Strong's first-hand acquaintance with
Dublin in the early nineteen-hundreds has been a further help, as
was his friendship with Yeats, A.E., and other Irish writers who
knew Joyce personally. The result is a stimulating and provocative
piece of criticism, of which we may safely say that it outruns its
modest programme. This book is a must read for scholars and
researchers of English literature.
