商品簡介
Cultures of Irish Catholicism in James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is the first historicist study to explore the religious cultural contexts of Joyce's late masterwork. Drawing on letters, journals and archival materials, the book works its way through the novel's major characters to analyse the ways in which the historical-religious background of early 20th-century Ireland intrude upon the text. Along the way, the book considers Joyce's vexed relationship with the Catholic Church he was brought up in and the unique forms of Catholic culture that blossomed in Ireland at the turn of the century.
