James Joyce's Negations: Irony, Indeterminacy and Nihilism in "Ulysses" and Other Writings Book

The main purpose of this book is to validate a reading of Joyce in negative terms. Central to the enquiry is an examination of the roles of irony and of indeterminacy. The book looks at the influences of Friedrich Schlegel and Gustave Flaubert in relation to irony and how indeterminacy, in effect, ushers in the possibility of nihilism. The analysis of Ulysses"" culminates with the attempt (unavailing in both cases) to discover in either Bloom or Molly a genuine source of countervailing affirmation. The study concludes with a brief consideration of the polysemic vocabulary of ""Finnegans Wake"" as a logical extrapolation of the poetics of indeterminacy.Read More
