James Joyce's Dublin: A Topographical Guide to the Dublin of Ulysses [Hardcover] Gunn, Ian and Hart, Clive Product Overview

Ulysses is, among other things, one of the most realistic novels ever written.Commentary on it has often focused on its important place in the history ofmodernism, its break with narrative convention, its exploration of thedilemmas of life in the twentieth century, or its concern with Irishnationalism. In James Joyce's Dublin, Ian Gunn and Clive Hart examine insteadthe importance of its basis in physical fact. The characters, many of themDubliners appearing under their own names, visit shops and pubs which can beprecisely located in the streets of Dublin. Despite the refurbishment of thecity in recent decades, some of those establishments remain. James Joyce'sDublin offers a full account of them all and analyses their significance inthe narrative. This close scrutiny reveals many otherwise hidden relationshipsand ironies. Although most of Ulysses is a linear narrative, there is a wealthof cross-correspondences, many of which depend for their effect on a knowledgeof who is doing what, and where, while other characters are otherwise engaged.Accordingly, the authors offer a detailed timetable of the book's action,relating event to event. James Joyce’s Dublin includes an analysis of Joyce'suse of use of Thom’s Official Directory of the United Kingdom of Great Britainand Ireland; an account of the characters' movements episode by episode; analphabetical list of the postal addresses of characters and places; atimetable of corresponding events; a note about unresolved problems; adetailed set of maps based on originals from early in the twentieth century;and a selection of historical illustrations, mainly of places and monumentsthat no longer survive. These tools enable the reader to approach more fullythe perspective of the native Dubliner in 1904 and enhance the delights - andthe understanding - of Joyce's great novel. Read more
