This book is the first comprehensive, historical study of Joyce's great novel in the context of Anglo-Irish political and cultural relations in the period 1880-1920. The first forty years of Joyce's life also witnessed the emergence of what\u003cbr\u003ehistorians now call English cultural nationalism. This formation was perceptible in a wide range of different discourses. \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e engages with many of them. In doing so, it resists, transforms and works to transcend the effects of British rule in Ireland. The novel was written in the years leading\u003cbr\u003eup to Irish independence. It is powered by both a will to freedom and a will to justice. But the two do not always coincide, and Joyce does not place his art in the service of any extant political cause. His struggle for independence has its own distinctive mode. The result is a unique work of\u003cbr\u003eliberation--and revenge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis eminently learned but lucidly written book transforms our understanding of Joyce's \u003cem\u003eUlysses.\u003c\/em\u003e It does so by placing the novel firmly in the historical context of Anglo-Irish political and cultural relations in the period 1880-1920. Gibson argues that \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e is a great work of liberation that\u003cbr\u003ealso takes a complex form of revenge on the colonizer's culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Gibson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199282036\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39934194188403,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_3818d8e8-581a-40a2-b2c8-9636f061dfda.jpg?v=1647877311","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/joyces-revenge-history-politics-and-aesthetics-in-ulysses-9780199282036","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
