Joyce in the Hibernian Metropolis Essays
Dublin, of course, is the subject as perceived and portrayed by the eye of her native son, but also the site of the June 1992 international symposium at which the 28 essays were presented. They cover general aspects, hostile responses to Joyce, male feminisms, the shorter works, Aeolus without wind, and the novels. The specific topics include narrativity in Finnegan's Wake, the number of triangles a writer can make out of four characters taking two at a time, monologue as monologic, Lawrence as an enemy of Joyce, and Celtism.
