Panepiphanal World is the first in-depth study of the forty short
texts James Joyce called "epiphanies." Composed between 1901 and
1904, at the beginning of Joyce's writing career, these texts are
often dismissed as juvenilia. Sangam MacDuff argues that the
epiphanies are an important point of origin for Joyce's entire body
of work, showing how they shaped the structure, style, and language
of his later writings. Tracing the ways Joyce incorporates the
epiphanies into Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,
Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake, MacDuff describes the defining
characteristics of the epiphanies-silence and repetition,
materiality and reflexivity-as a set of recurrent and inter-related
tensions in the development of Joyce's oeuvre. MacDuff uses fresh
archival evidence, including a new typescript of the epiphanies
that he discovered, to show the importance of the epiphanies
throughout Joyce's career. MacDuff compares Joyce's concept of
epiphany to Classical, Biblical, and Romantic revelations, showing
that instead of pointing to divine transcendence or the awakening
of the sublime, Joyce's epiphanies are rooted in and focused on
language. MacDuff argues that the Joycean epiphany is an apt
characterization of modernist literature, and that the linguistic
forces at play in these early texts are also central to the work of
Joyce's contemporaries including Woolf, Beckett, and Eliot. A
