Description

Joyce and Company is a comparative study which encourages a way of thinking about Joyce not as an isolated figure but as someone who is best understood in the company of others whether from the past, the present or, indeed, the imagined future. Throughout, Pierce places Joyce and his time in dialogue with other figures or different historical periods or languages other than English. In this way, Joyce is seen anew in relation to other writers and contexts. The book is organised in four parts: Joyce and History, Joyce and Language, Joyce and the City, and Joyce and the Contemporary World. Pierce emphasises Joyce's position as both an Irish and a European writer and shows Joyce's continuing relevance to the twenty-first century, not least in his commitment to language, culture and a discourse on freedom. Review 'David Pierce's Joyce and Company is a collection of interlocking essays which also reprints several of the author's previous publications on Joyce. The essays are accomplished, informed and wide-ranging and especially adept at teasing out intertextual connections between Joyce and other writers. The first chapter interweaves Joyce and Laurence Sterne through an exploration of their mutual interest in touch and transgression. Two chapters on Joyce and the city illuminatingly explore the affinities between his work and that of Alexander Doblin and Virginia Woolf. Like Doblin, it is concluded, Joyce is concerned with the symmetries and patterns that define the modern metropolis, while, like Woolf, he focuses on the city's margins and its submerged population of outsider figures. The final chapters of this judicious and balanced study provide space for even more expansive considerations, including the political valence of Joyce's work after the fall of the Berlin wall and its influence on a diverse range of contemporary Irish writers such as Thomas Kinsella, Aidan Matthews and Jamie O'Neill.' - Anne Fogarty, The Year's Work in English Studies 2008'David Pierce might well be the ideal reader of the work of James Joyce. His interpretations are both sensitive and sensible. In this book his interests range from the cultural and intellectual climate that formed the writer Joyce, to the varied ways in which his works have been read by creative writers and ordinary readers.'Prof. Geert Lernout, James Joyce Centre, University of Antwerp, Belgium.'Pierce's knowledge of Joyce and Joycean scholarship is encyclopedic. Similarly, the connections he makes between Joyce and the company of authors such as Sterne, Woolf and Jamie O'Neill, and between Joyce and issues of language and cultural studies, are accomplished with ease and erudition.' Damien Ward Hey, James Joyce Literary Supplement, Spring 2007"A great virtue of Joyce and Company is its implicit indication of the variety of communities that have influenced Pierce in his engagement with Joyce's works. And, in fact, the book's greatest merit is the way it suggests what good company Pierce himself is as a fellow reader of Joyce. He gives a sense of how he has come to produce a certain kind of Joyce criticism and of the capacities of that strain of scholarship; he is more interested in informing us than in persuading us...A very worthwhile collection of essays." - Victor Luftig, James Joyce Quarterlymention- The Chronicle of Higher Education, May 26, 2006 From the Author This is a collection of essays on various topics connected with James Joyce written over a period of years and for different audiences. I was keen to have them all together in a single volume, not so much to argue a single thesis but to show how the parameters or contexts of Joyce's work can be reconfigured or given a new or sharper focus if he is placed against different backgrounds. There is an echo in the title of Shakespeare and Company, Sylvia Beach's bookshop in Paris where the first edition of Ulysses was published, but I was also conscious that it would act as an umb
