The Language of the Devil Texture and Archetype in Finnegans Wake

In a letter written in 1936 to his grandson Stephen, Joyce said that the Devil speaks "a language of his own...which he makes up himself as he goes along." Taking this as his theme, Sandulescu offers a brilliant new study of the language of Finnegans Wake. Highly original. "Worth reading for his chapter on the Epiphany of Joyce."--Books Ireland.
