"Marking the centenary of the birth of James Joyce, the publication of THE SEVENTH OF JOYCE brings together some of the finest and most provocative work presented at the Seventh International James Joyce Symposium in Zurich, Switzerland. Both well-known and younger scholars offer new perspectives on Joyce, who is possibly the most influential and certainly the most revolutionary modern novelist. Several contributors come to the study of Joyce from other literary bailiwicks or disciplines. The opening chapters consider Joyce in light of recent narrative theory. Three subsequent sections explore his relationship to two other important 20th-century writers, Beckett and Faulkner, and examine his debt to Freudian psychology---a debt that Joyce was loath to acknowledge. Dubliners, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake each have a section devoted to them. The book concludes with discussions of three general topic areas: Joyce and science, Joyce and Judaism, and Joyce and sex. The 34 contributors include Morris Beja, Bernard Benstock, Andre Bleikasten, Alan J. Friedman, Ihab Hassan, J. Hillis Miller and Francois Pitavy. Charting new directions in Joycean studies, this collection of essays will appeal to all readers of modern literature as well as to Joyce aficionados."
