Lucia Boldrini's study examines how the literary and linguistic
theories of Dante's Divine Comedy helped shape the radical
narrative techniques of Joyce's last novel, Finnegans Wake. Through
detailed parallel readings, she explores a range of connections:
issues such as the question of Babel, literary creation as
excrement, the complex relations between literary, geometrical and
female forms. Boldrini places Joyce's work in the wider context of
other modernist writing's relation to Dante, thereby identifying
the distinctness of Joyce's own project. She considers how theories
of influence and intertextuality help or limit the understanding of
the relation. Boldrini shows how, through an untiring confrontation
with his predecessors, constantly thematised within his writing,
Joyce develops a 'poetics in progress' that informs not only his
final work but his entire oeuvre. This book will appeal to scholars
and students interested in Joyce, Dante, and questions of literary
relations.
