Originally published in 1990, Virginia Woolf and the Madness of
Language explores the relationship between madness and the
disruption of linguistic and structural norms in Virginia Woolf's
modernist novels, opening new ground in Woolfian studies, as well
as in psychoanalytic criticism. Focusing on Mrs Dalloway, The
Waves, To the Lighthouse and Between the Acts, it investigates
narrative strategies, showing that Woolf's writings question their
own origins and connection with madness and suicide. By combining
textual analysis with an original use of autobiographical material,
the books cause us to reconsider the full complexity of the
articulation between an author's life and work.

An introduction to the fascinating world of Joyce’s manuscripts
This book shows how the creative process of modernist writer James
Joyce can be reconstructed from his manuscripts. Daniel Ferrer
offers a practical demonstration of the theory of genetic
criticism, the study of the manuscript and textual development of a
literary text. Using a concrete approach focused on the materiality
of Joyce’s writing process, Ferrer demonstrates how to recover
the process of invention and its internal dynamics. Using specific,
detailed examples, Ferrer analyzes the part played by chance in
Joyce’s creative process, the spatial dimension of
writing, the genesis of the “Sirens” episode,
and the transition from Ulysses to Finnegans Wake. The book
includes a study of Joyce’s mysterious Finnegans Wake notebooks,
examining their strange form of intertextuality in light of
Joyce’s earlier forms of note-taking. Moving beyond the single
author perspective, Ferrer contrasts Joyce’s notes alluding to
Virginia Woolf’s criticism of Ulysses with Woolf’s own notes on
the novel’s first episodes. Throughout this book, Ferrer
describes the logic of the creative process as seen in the record
left by Joyce in notebooks, drafts, typescripts, proofs,
correspondence, early printed versions, and other available
documents. Each change detected reveals a movement from one state
to another, a new direction, challenging readers to understand the
reasons for each movement and to appreciate the wealth of
information to be found in Joyce’s manuscripts. A volume in the
Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sam Slote
This volume introduces English speakers to genetic criticism,
arguably the most important critical movement in France today. In
recent years, French literary scholars have been exploring the
interpretive possibilities of textual history, turning manuscript
study into a recognized form of literary criticism. They have
clearly demonstrated that manuscripts can be used for purposes
other than establishing an accurate text of a work. Although its
raw material is a writer's manuscripts, genetic criticism owes more
to structuralist and poststructuralist notions of textuality than
to philology and textual criticism. As Genetic Criticism
demonstrates, the chief concern is not the "final" text but the
reconstruction and analysis of the writing process. Geneticists
find endless richness in what they call the "avant-texte": a
critical gathering of a writer's notes, sketches, drafts,
manuscripts, typescripts, proofs, and correspondence. Together, the
essays in this volume reveal how genetic criticism cooperates with
such forms of literary study as narratology, linguistics,
psychoanalysis, sociocriticism, deconstruction, and gender theory.
Genetic Criticism contains translations of eleven essays, general
theoretical analyses as well as studies of individual authors such
as Flaubert, Proust, Joyce, Zola, Stendhal, Chateaubriand, and
Montaigne. Some of the essays are foundational statements, while
others deal with such recent topics as noncanonical texts and the
potential impact of hypertext on genetic study. A general
introduction to the book traces genetic criticism's intellectual
history, and separate introductions give precise contexts for each
essay.
Studies of the genesis of musical, literary, and theatrical works.
Not only the final outcome but the process of creative endeavor has
long attracted attention in various artistic disciplines, but only
recently has the potential of such research been seriously
explored. The most rigorous basis for the study of artistic
creativity comes not from anecdotal or autobiographical reports,
but from original handwritten sketches and drafts and preliminary
studies, as well as from revised manuscripts and typescripts,
corrected proof sheets, and similar primary sources. The term
"genetic criticism" or "critique genetique" relates not to the
field of genetics, but to the genesis of works of art, as studied
in a broad and inclusive context. The essays inthis volume explore
aspects of genetic criticism in an interdisciplinary context,
emphasizing music, literature, and theater. A common thread
pertains to the essential continuity between a work and its
genesis. This volume bringstogether essays from leading scholars on
subjects ranging from biblical scholarship to Samuel Beckett, and
from Beethoven's Eroica Symphony to very recent musical
compositions. Contributors: Nicolas Donin, Daniel Ferrer, Alan

Revival, reinvention, and regeneration: the concept of renascence
pervades Joyce's work through the inescapable presence of his
literary forebears. By persistently reexamining tradition,
reinterpreting his literary heritage in light of the present, and
translating and re-translating from one system of signs to another,
Joyce exhibits the spirit of the greatest of Renaissance writers
and artists. In fact, his writing derives some of its most
important characteristics from Renaissance authors, as this
collection of essays shows. Though critical work has often focused
on Joyce's relationship to medieval thinkers like Thomas Aquinas
and Dante, Renascent Joyce examines Joyce's connection to the
Renaissance in such figures as Shakespeare, Rabelais, and Bruno.
Joyce's own writing can itself be viewed through the rubric of
renascence with the tools of genetic criticism and the many
insights afforded by the translation process. Several essays in
this volume examine this broader idea, investigating the rebirth
and reinterpretation of Joyce's texts. Topics include literary
historiography, Joyce's early twentieth-century French cultural
contexts, and the French translation of Ulysses. Attentive to the
current state of Joyce studies, the writers of these extensively
researched essays investigate the Renaissance spirit in Joyce to
offer a volume at once historically informed and innovative.
