LIT 182 CM - James Joyce

In this seminar we will read the major writings of the Irish author James Joyce, whose work was immensely influential on all 20th-century literature, in English and in other languages. We will begin with his collection of short stories, Dubliners, and with his quasi-autobiographical novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. The greater part of our class will be devoted to a detailed reading of Ulysses, his epic of the modern world. Time permitting, we will study excerpts of Finnegans Wake to establish strategies for reading this compendium of language and history.
