Cork: Cork University Press, 2022. xiv + 450 pp. $45.00 cloth. <p>Flann O'Brien's (Brian O'Nolan's) writing for the theater and television has received relatively little attention until recently, being less experimental and thus less suitable for framing inside the parameters of late-modernist or postmodern aesthetics or, lately, as enacting posthumanist or biopolitical preoccupations. However, much of this maverick writer's output across media and genres \"acts out\" often contradictory potentialities and is inherently theatrical, including the performance of multiple writerly personae. <em>Flann O'Brien: Acting Out</em>, exemplarily edited by Paul Fagan (who also contributes the introduction) and Dieter Fuchs, the fourth volume in the series dedicated to this author published by the Cork University Press, is the first book-length study systematically to assess O'Nolan's protean <em>oeuvre</em> in the context of modernist debates about (anti)theatricality or within the institutional framework of performance. In his jocose manifesto of democratic fiction, the narrator of <em>At Swim-Two-Birds</em> provocatively reverts Stephen Dedalus's argument about the superiority of the dramatic form in <em>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</em> and designs fiction as deceptive performance, which calls for frame-breaking devices to counteract outwitting the credulous reader;<sup>1</sup> while employed in a novel, these devices are inherently (meta)theatrical, showing that performance is never far away from O'Nolan's pranks.</p> <p>One of the key features of O'Nolan's writing is his keen audience awareness and constant preoccupation with the role of his contemporary Irish audiences and critics: through incorporating dramatic techniques, as Alana Gillespie shows in her chapter, his prose and journalism function as a \"grotesque revue\" (40) of Irish theatrical productions and their audience, nettling revivalist ideals of educating the public and subversively intervening in the debates about who should have a say in the cultural self-representation of the modern democratic nation state. O'Nolan's most sustained theatrical performance was his cultivation of multiple pseudonyms and masks, a subject explored by Johanna Marquardt and John Greaney; Marquardt traces the replacement of \"Flann O'Brien\" the novelist by the composite construct \"Myles na gCopaleen\" (279), the author of the comic column <strong>[End Page 169]</strong> <em>Cruiskeen Lawn</em> written for <em>The Irish Times</em>, in the memoirs of fellow Irish literati and family members, aided by the domestic cultivation of the figure as an eccentric, a","PeriodicalId":42413,"journal":{"name":"JAMES JOYCE QUARTERLY","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141153236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2022. xiii + 298 pp. $99.99 cloth. <p>Conjoining historical and political concerns with issues such as queerness, race, and transnational literary relations, or exploring issues of composition and publication, copyright law, translation, and the history of modernist criticism, the essays of <em>The New Joyce Studies</em> edited by Catherine Flynn aim to \"refract Joyce's texts through new critical lenses and in doing so produce new kinds of analytical apparatuses\" (210).</p> <p>As the \"master of urban deterritorialization,\" Joyce can serve African writers and thinkers as a model for the \"plot of inertia\"—an alternative to the heroic plots that structure much of the African literary tradition—of (post)colonial urban modernity, Ato Quayson suggests in \"The Transcripts of (Post)Colonial Modernity in <em>Ulysses</em> and Accra\" (21). Plots of inertia, defined by the dissociative \"slow time\" of indefinite actions, allow for the linguistic deformations that Quayson explores in the fictional 1904 Dublin and the contemporary Accra, Ghana. Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's concept of minor writing—the linguistic deformation of a dominant language from within, a minority's revolutionary deterritorialization of hegemonic discourse—necessarily enjoins a process of becoming for all minorities or denigrated entities within a society.<sup>1</sup> Everything in minor writing is political, Deleuze and Guattari claim; within the individual story vibrates an entire political history, and everything takes on a collective value: in the revolutionary enunciation of minor writing, the artist can express \"another possible community\" and forge the means for \"another consciousness and another sensibility\" (17). The dialectical interplay between the oscillations of the mind and the conversion of external stimuli into labyrinths of signification shape the deterritorialization of both Joyce's novel and the multilingual city of Accra, where the written word is omnipresent in public places and especially in the inscriptions on vehicles, coalescing the repertoires of both orality and literacy.</p> <p>In \"Joyce and Race in the Twenty-First Century,\" Malcolm Sen explores Joyce's representation of bodies of color in the context of empire, questioning how the \"reshaping of cultural and personal definitions of what it means to be Irish inform our reading of race in Joyce's texts,\" and asking how these texts also inform our understanding of \"the present and its multiple sociopolitical and ecological <strong>[End Page 161]</strong> challenges within which race operates as a key determinant\" (36-37).

Joyce himself told Samuel Beckett that \"a Joyce fan could also be a Dickens fan.\" In the Padua essays discovered by Louis Berrone, Joyce positioned himself in opposition to what was then the widespread critical disparagement of Dickens's work, admiring his \"creative fury,\" especially in imagining such vivid characters as the Mrs. Gamp of <i>Martin Chuzzlewit</i>. He also showed a familiarity with Dickens's seldom-read <i>Pictures From Italy</i>, which includes a passage notably similar to the opening of \"Circe.\" This essay considers <i>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</i> in light of Dickens's two autobiographical novels, <i>David Copperfield</i> and Great Expectations. It proposes that the opening chapters of the former, at the time by far the best-known <i>kunstleroman</i> in English literature, established a narrative pattern of traumas inflicted and then revisited and reconsidered in memory, repeated in <i>A Portrait</i>, and that the latter, in beginning not with the protagonist's documented birth (\"I Am Born\") but with his first memories, is followed in Joyce's book: \"Once upon a time\" turns out to be not the words of someone about to tell us a story but the words heard by someone being told a story. Rather unexpectedly, the Dickens work most in evidence, particularly in <i>Finnegans Wake, is Martin Chuzzlewit</i>. As J. S. Atherton found, <i>FW</i> I.2, especially in its sarcastic account of Earwicker's origins, often draws on the language of that novel's shabby-genteel characters. The hostile American \"payrodicule\" reporter of <i>FW</i> I.3, assaulting the embattled HCE as a \"lion\" in his \"teargarten,\" echoes the American orator of <i>Martin Chuzzlewit</i> who wants to lynch the Irish \"Liberator\" Daniel O'Connell for the crime of supporting the liberation of America's slaves. Most strikingly, the language of Mrs. Gamp, the character singled out in Joyce's Padua essay, which often anticipates the language of <i>Finnegans Wake</i>, is, in fact, loaded with neologisms (\"Prooshious\" for \"Prussian,\" \"widdered\" for \"widowed\") that will later show up in that book. As a midwife disquietingly in partnership with the undertaking business, Mrs. Gamp also forecasts a theme which will run through Joyce's work, from \"The Sisters\" to the washerwomen of <i>Finnegans Wake</i>, including the \"<i>Frauenzimmer</i>\" of \"Proteus,\" with their \"gamp\" umbrella and their (supposed) midwife's bag holding a \"misbirth … hushed in ruddy wool.\"</p></p>","PeriodicalId":42413,"journal":{"name":"JAMES JOYCE QUARTERLY","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141153354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New York: Cambridge University Press, 2022. xxiv + 299 pp. $99.99 cloth, ebook. &lt;p&gt;In his introduction to &lt;em&gt;Classics and Celtic Literary Modernism&lt;/em&gt;, Gregory Baker explains that he is using a \"narrative historicist\" mode of critical writing, which relies heavily on storytelling and dense historical contextualization (xv). It would be better, according to Baker, to avoid generalizations that obscure the specific pathways by which \"Classics\" have been received and passed down from ancient times to our own. He is a good storyteller, too. Baker can deftly render the situation and draw us into it, and he demonstrates this skill in every section of the book. These are well researched and well told stories, and, while reading this book, I often felt I was reading excerpts from an intellectual biography or a series of biographical essays.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Speaking of avoiding generalizations, however, I would have recommended some term other than \"Celtic Literary Modernism.\" It sounds like Baker might be suggesting that W. B. Yeats, James Joyce, David Jones, and Hugh MacDiarmid belonged to a coherent literary movement, and that does not sound right to me. Even the term \"Celt\" is controversial nowadays, at least among pre-historians.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Baker demonstrates that the term Classics is extremely wide-ranging in its possible referents. It could mean simply references to anything Ancient Greek or Ancient Roman, whether literary, linguistic, political, or historical. These references are common in political rhetoric as well as in the everyday conversation of highly educated people. The most important definition for Baker's study is the academic discipline of Classical Studies itself, a discipline which was being displaced by Departments of English in the British, American, and Irish educational systems during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 177]&lt;/strong&gt; centuries. I am not convinced that this development in education has had as much of an impact on the development of Irish Nationalism and Irish Modernism as Baker suggests, but he does point to a larger number of connections than I would have imagined. Among the authors surveyed, Yeats has the most to say about this coincidence and explicitly comments that this is an important thing. How important the decline of Classics was, compared to the many other elements Yeats said were important to the development of his own literary and political ideas, is another matter.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For Classicists interested in how the Classics have been received by these modern writers, Baker's narrative","PeriodicalId":42413,"journal":{"name":"JAMES JOYCE QUARTERLY","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141153233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the first evening of the 2023 Joyce School, an event that celebrated a quarter-century milestone this year, pleasantries and formalities were exchanged over refreshments while many of us adjusted to the Adriatic sun and its reach. The reception was generously provided by the Embassy of Ireland and took place just outside the grand Museo Revoltella where the school had just been officially opened. For first-time attendees and speakers alike, the striking characteristics of our environment, with its pale walls, coastal air, unique architectural blend, and constant murmur captivated the senses and much of the conversation. Even in the short time since arriving in Trieste, it felt as if many of us were already finding ourselves drawn to the city that Joyce inhabited and loved for such a formative decade of his life. Our next five days entailed three talks each morning at the Museo, interspersed with coffee breaks, a seminar in the afternoon after lunch, and then an evening activity planned by the school. Each day's scholarship was routinely followed by a welcome abundance of engaging and openminded conversation, food, and drink.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Throughout the week, every paper was met by an eager audience and followed by enthusiastic and thorough questions. Subsequent discussions often spilled over into lunch and dinner. Despite certain recurring ideas, there was no overarching theme for the school, and, as such, there was no subject out of bounds. The collection of speakers attending saw a host of experts from the academy, with focuses ranging from musicology to the blue humanities and the medical humanities, alongside representation from the James Joyce Centre in Dublin and a cofounder of the Newspaper and Periodical History Forum of Ireland. In other words, the extent of differing relationships with Joyce and approaches to his work on display during the week felt like a prized asset of the school. It was formidable to experience, and the variety within the programming offered both complement and contrast. I will briefly outline and summarize each day's talks, which can provide no overview of the depth of what was on offer.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The founder of the school, John McCourt, commenced the week's proceedings on Monday with a talk close to the heart of the event, \"Joyce, Svevo, and the Making of Modernism in Trieste.\" He &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 9]&lt;/strong&gt; expanded on his work which originally asserted the influence and importance of the triangular relationship between both authors and their residual city.","PeriodicalId":42413,"journal":{"name":"JAMES JOYCE QUARTERLY","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141153239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2021. xiii + 216 pp. $70 cloth, $54.95 ebook. &lt;p&gt;Jeremy Colangelo's highly original study, &lt;em&gt;Diaphanous Bodies: Ability, Disability, and Modernist Irish Literature&lt;/em&gt;, represents an outstanding contribution to the burgeoning scholarship of disability studies and to both Irish and modernism studies. Colangelo's writing is lucid and often elegant. His argument is well organized, clear, and persuasive, and his posture toward others working in the fields in which he engages is notably generous, not only toward the scholars with whom his work is in dialogue but also toward readers who may not have an extensive background in disability studies. As a result, his highly readable introduction not only clearly delineates his own project, but also offers a useful primer on relevant debates in disability studies, and on ongoing post-Enlightenment philosophical debates about the implications of Cartesian subjectivity for our understanding of the self in relation to the body, the senses, and perception.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Colangelo's overall project hones in not primarily on disability but, rather, on its presumed but never-defined counterpart, &lt;em&gt;ability&lt;/em&gt;, or on what Colangelo terms the \"diaphanous abled body\" (1). Colangelo initiates his extended exploration of the incoherence of able-bodiedness as a category in the first paragraph of his acknowledgments by invoking his own experience as a humanities scholar writing a book during the COVID pandemic. He sets forth a beautifully crafted paradox, observing that writing this book during the pandemic made &lt;strong&gt;[End Page 155]&lt;/strong&gt; apparent not only \"how much the work of writing a book is the labor of many, regardless of what the byline might tell you,\" but also \"how much [he] miss[es] this codependency when it is so suddenly taken away\" (vii). This simple description of the author's own situation during the pandemic introduces the central contradiction with which this study contends: everyone is dependent on others, and yet this dependency is, for most of us, for much of our lives, routinely and compulsorily denied, with results that are themselves distorting and disabling.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As Colangelo readily demonstrates, to be ostensibly not disabled is in no way the same as having complete adequacy and self-sufficiency in every respect. Indeed, to be not disabled is rather like possessing the Lacanian phallus, a condition simultaneously categorical and imaginary. To be in &lt;em&gt;soi-disant&lt;/em&gt; possession of a non-disabled body or, in Colangelo's terms, of the \"myth","PeriodicalId":42413,"journal":{"name":"JAMES JOYCE QUARTERLY","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141153237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
