In correspondence and conversation, James Joyce kept himself aloof
from his age, and denigrated recent art and thought at almost every
opportunity. 'In the last two hundred years, ' he declared, 'we
haven't had a great thinker.' This book reveals that in spite of
his protestations Joyce was profoundly influenced by one of the
major figures of nineteenth-century culture, the composer Richard
Wagner. Timothy Martin documents Joyce's exposure to Wagner's
operas, and defines a pervasive Wagnerian presence in his work,
identifying scores of allusions. Wagner emerges as an important
source in the development of literary modernism, and - alongside
Flaubert and Ibsen - as one of Joyce's most important influences
from the previous century. The revisionary impact of this empirical
study in cultural history was to present Joyce as far more a child
of the nineteenth century than he wished to acknowledge, much more
than Joyce's students historically recognised
