This collection introduces and examines the overarching ecological
consciousness evinced in the writings of James Joyce. Reading Joyce
with a keen attention to the manner in which the natural and built
environment functions as context, horizon, threat, or site of
liberation in Joyce's writing offers an engaging and fruitful way
into the dense, demanding, and usually encyclopedic formation of
knowledge that comprises Joyce's literary legacy. Scholars working
within Irish studies draw on a wide variety of critical outlooks,
including cultural studies, post-colonial studies, transnational
studies, gender studies and, of course, modernist studies; this
book will help that community become better acquainted with how
ecocriticism elucidates the work of Irish writers, and will
encourage further research in this direction. Even writers like
Joyce, who are usually regarded as primarily urban, exhibit a
strong ecological dimension in their work, and there are many other
Irish writers who have produced work that directly engages issues
in ecology and environmental studies. Eco-Joyce covers a multitude
of disciplines in an attempt to serve as a point of entry into
Joyce and ecocriticism, of course, but it will also suggest ways in
which Irish studies and modernist studies could gain energy from
this relatively new and vital approach.
