This book presents a fundamental shift in the way we approach,
discuss, and evaluate Joyce's non-fictional writings. Rather than
simply proposing or applying new methodologies, it historicises and
reconceives the critical assumptions that have shaped scholarly
approaches to these works for over half a century, showing that
non-fiction as a categorical distinction, no matter how sensible it
appears, crumbles under closer inspection. Bringing into
conversation a group of key Joyce scholars, this volume acts not
only as a vital reimagining of our critical relationship to Joyce's
non-fiction, but as a contribution to similar debates being carried
out across the broad range of modernist studies.
This book offers a fundamental and comprehensive re-evaluation of
one of Joyce's most pervasive themes. By showing that betrayal was
central to how Joyce understood and depicted the difficulties and
terrors at the heart of all relationships, this book re-conceives
Joyce's approach to history, politics, and the other. Leaving
behind the pathologizing discourses by which Joyce's interest in
betrayal has been treated as an 'obsession,' this book offers a
vision of Joyce as both dramatist and theorist of betrayal. It
demonstrates that, rather than being compelled by some unconscious
urge to produce and reproduce textual betrayals, Joyce had a deep
and hard-won conception of the specific dramatic energies wrapped
up in the language and structures of betrayal and repeatedly found
ways to make use of this understanding in his work.
