Yet scholars have nearly forgotten the only other character in Kiernan’s pub who understands the Irish language: Garryowen.1 The few who do attempt to discern the dog’s significance generally point to a 1775 song, which celebrates the lawless adolescents of Limerick’s suburb, Garryowen.2 They argue that the song, ‘‘Garryowen,’’ and its rowdy subjects share characteristics with Joyce’s citizen and his canine companion. For example, Joseph Prescott highlights and Don Gifford reiterates that ‘‘Garryowen’’ is an ‘‘Irish roistering song’’ and thus corresponds to the citizen and his nationalistic sentiments.3 Richard Ellmann, on the other hand, suggests that the dog has biographical relevance: ‘‘Even the dog Garryowen was not made up of stray barks and bites, but belonged to the father of Joyce’s Aunt Josephine Murray, whom Gerty MacDowell accurately identifies as ‘Grandpapa Giltrap’ ’’ (JJ 365). But the name, the place, and the dog carry significance for Joyce studies that goes beyond superficial connections and esoteric biography. A small literary tradition springs from the suburb’s mythically rambunctious associations, which the 1775 song articulates. The dog motif in Ulysses draws not only on the song ‘‘Garryowen’’ but also on Gerald Griffin’s The Collegians: A Tale of Garryowen (1829); Maria Edgeworth’s ‘‘Garry Owen: or, the Snow Woman’’ (1832); Dion Boucicault’s The Colleen Bawn, or the Brides of Garryowen (1860); and H. De Vere Stacpoole’s Garryowen: The Romance of a Race-horse (1909). An examination of these works reveals a unifying theme that Joyce adopts and comments on in Ulysses. Namely, the protagonists must choose between a beautiful animal","PeriodicalId":330014,"journal":{"name":"Joyce Studies Annual","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128423422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

G. Wells said, Joyce’s mind was ‘‘obsessed by a monstrous system of contradictions’’ (JJ 608), it is likely that he would have had a special affinity for the first gospel. Matthew is the most self-contradictory of the evangelists. He is, by turns, pro-Jewish and anti-Jewish, pro-gentile and anti-gentile, inclusive of women and exclusive of women. He represents Jesus as simultaneously anarchic and authoritarian, merciful and merciless, an upholder and a transgressor of the law. Elaine Wainwright observes that the gospel is marked by ‘‘[t]ension, ambiguity and anomaly,’’1 and this characteristic has produced a wide range of conflicting interpretations. One of the more radical attempts to account for the anomalous tension is Ernest Abel’s claim that there were actually three Matthews: the apostle himself who wrote down the sayings of Jesus, and two redactors—M (1) and M (2)—who wrote at cross-purposes (so to speak).2 The Wake appears to be making a similar assertion when it observes ‘‘that Father Matt Hughes looked taytotally threbled’’ (FW 330.5–6) (totally tripled). In any case, the title of Abel’s article—‘‘Who Wrote Matthew?’’—bears a family resemblance to the Wake’s self-referential question ‘‘who in hallhagal wrote the durn thing anyhow’’ (107.36– 108.1).3 Abel’s claim that what we subsume under the name of Matthew is actually the combined effort of ‘‘separate individuals, working independently of one another, and each writing with a different purpose and audience in mind’’ (Abel 138) reads like a description of the Wake’s letter, which is creased and fissured by ‘‘the continually more and less intermisunderstanding minds of the anticollaborators’’ (118.24–6). The contrasting portrayals of Matthew in the Wake as both ‘‘poor Matt, the old perigrime matriarch’’ (FW 392.19–20) and ‘‘poor Matt Gregory","PeriodicalId":330014,"journal":{"name":"Joyce Studies Annual","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125177563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
