Edinburgh University Press The Edinburgh Companion to James Joyce and the Arts (Edinburgh Companions to Literature and the Humanities)

Explores the creative endeavours of James Joyce and the artistic afterlives of his work Presents authoritative critical assessments, based on original research, of engagements with a wide range of artistic practices and media in the work of James Joyce Includes insightful readings into how Joyce’s writing has in turn been transformational across artistic forms and media Considers Joyce’s interactions with the arts in their fullest historical, intellectual and aesthetic contexts Comprises thirty-six specially commissioned chapters from well-established and emerging scholars in multiple academic disciplines across the world This Companion examines James Joyce’s interactions with the arts during his lifetime and the many ways that Joyce’s writing has been inspiring and transformational to artists since. As a landmark volume in Joyce studies as well as the study of Modernist intermediality more broadly, it brings together a wide range of artforms, aesthetics and media engaged by Joyce’s work, including painting, theatre, architecture, photography, cinema, broadcasting, animation, comics, music, song, dance, fashion and digital forms. It investigates Joyce’s creative practice and subsequent responses to it from a plethora of perspectives: archival and genetic, linguistic, aesthetic, theoretical, stylistic, creative- and performance-based. Featuring an introductory overview and thirty-six original chapters by artists, curators and established and emerging scholars from across the world, it creates a comprehensive ‘collideorscape’ of views on Joyce’s relationship with the arts.
