Focusing on the most commonly studied texts, it guides the reader
through Joyce's stylistic and thematic complexity and through
differing theoretical interpretations of his work. James Joyce's
work has, not unjustly, been regarded as some of the most obscure,
challenging and difficult writing ever committed to paper; it is
also shamelessly funny and endlessly entertaining. "Joyce: A Guide
for the Perplexed" celebrates the daring, humor and playfulness of
Joyce's complex work while engaging with and elucidating the most
demanding aspects of his writing. The book explores in detail the
motifs and radical innovations of style and technique that
characterize his major works - "Dubliners", "A Portrait of the
Artist as a Young Man", "Ulysses", and "Finnegans Wake". By
highlighting how Joyce's texts have been read by recent innovations
in literary and cultural theory, "Joyce: A Guide for the Perplexed"
offers the reader a Joyce that is contemporary, fresh and relevant.
Continuum's "Guides for the Perplexed" are clear, concise and
accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that
students and readers can find especially challenging - or indeed
downright bewildering. Concentrating specifically on what it is
that makes the subject difficult to grasp, these books explain and
explore key themes and ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough
understanding of demanding material.
