  • More about Music and Sound in the Life and Literature of James Joyce: Joyces Noyces


James Joyce's obsession with music is explored in Music and Sound in the Life and Literature of James Joyce, through a century-old critical tradition and six in-depth case studies. It combines cultural musicology, critical theory, sound studies, and Irish studies to explore Joyce's use of repetition, response to literary Wagnerism, role and status of music in the fin de siècle, music and cultural nationalism, ubiquitous urban sound, and 'shanty aesthetics'.

James Joyce's fascination with music is explored in depth in Noyce's book, which provides a comprehensive overview of a century-old critical tradition that focuses on Joyce and music. Six in-depth case studies are included, revisiting Joyce's career in the light of new and emerging theories. The book combines approaches from cultural musicology, critical theory, sound studies, and Irish studies to consider both Irish cultural history and the European art music tradition. Chapters explore Joyce's use of repetition, his response to literary Wagnerism, the role and status of music in the aesthetic and political debates of the fin de siècle, music and cultural nationalism, ubiquitous urban sound, and 'shanty aesthetics.' Gerry Smyth revitalizes Joyce's work in relation to the 'noisy world' in which the author wrote and his audience read his work.
