Joyce was the first Modernist to use the religious term epiphany to describe an unexpected insight, often within a trivial, mundane biographical or fictional context. But prose fiction around 1900 is full of similar concepts under various names : moment of vision, moment of being, anderer Zustand, m�moire involontaire. This book asks three questions : Where does the concept of the epiphanic moment come from ? What does it look like ? Why was it so valuable for prose fiction around 1900 ? Finally the study looks at the present use of the term only to discover that "epiphany" has recently had an astonishing comeback – even Homer Simpson has had his epiphany.
