In August 1919, a production of James Joyce's Exiles was mounted at
the Munich Schauspielhaus and quickly fell due to harsh criticism.
The reception marked the beginning of a dynamic association between
Joyce, German-language writers, and literary critics. It is this
relationship that Robert Weninger analyzes in The German Joyce.
Opening a new dimension of Joycean scholarship, this book provides
the premier study of Joyce's impact on German-language literature
and literary criticism in the twentieth century. The opening
section follows Joyce's linear intrusion from the 1910s to the
1990s by focusing on such prime moments as the first German
translation of Ulysses, Joyce's influence on the Marxist
Expressionism debate, and the Nazi blacklisting of Joyce's work.
Utilizing this historical reception as a narrative backdrop,
Weninger then presents Joyce's horizontal diffusion into German
culture. Weninger succeeds in illustrating both German readers'
great attraction to Joyce's work as well as Joyce's affinity with
some of the great German masters, from Goethe to Rilke, Brecht, and
Thomas Mann. He argues that just as Shakespeare was a model of
linguistic exuberance for Germans in the eighteenth century, Joyce
became the epitome of poetic inspiration in the twentieth. A volume
in The Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sebastian D. G.
