Joyce's writing has been influenced by cinematic tendencies that predate film, and this book explores how these influences shaped his fiction. It is the first comprehensive consideration of Joyce in the context of pre-filmic cinematicity and draws on recent media archaeology research and analysis. The book examines the shaping of Joyce's fiction by late-Victorian visual culture and science, showing that key aspects of his literary experimentation derive from forgotten popular cultural practices and vernacular modernism. It also shows Joyce's interaction with and critique of Modernity's developing media cultural imaginary. Keith Williams explores Victorian culture's emergent cinematicity as a key creative driver of Joyce's experimental fiction, showing how Joyce's style and themes share the cinematograph's roots in Victorian optical entertainment and science. The book reveals Joyce's references to optical toys, shadowgraphs, magic lanterns, panoramas, photographic analysis, and film peepshows. Close analyses of his works show how his techniques elaborated and critiqued their effects on modernity's media-cultural imaginary.
