  • More about The Reader's Joyce: Ulysses, Authorship and the Authority of the Reader

Rethinks the relationships between author, reader, and text in literature and criticism, through a study of James Joyce.

Format: Hardback
Length: 240 pages
Publication date: 31 August 2022
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press


The Reader's Joyce delves into the heart of literary studies by challenging and reimagining established notions of the relationships between author, reader, and text. In her insightful work, Sophie Corser explores the act of reading inspired by the intertextuality and narrative of James Joyce's iconic masterpiece, Ulysses (1922). Through meticulous in-depth readings of the novel and its intricate interactions with other texts from classical and contemporary literature, criticism, theory, and biography, Corser uncovers new dimensions of Joyce's work. At the core of this approach lies a fresh analysis of the often overlooked significance of Homer's Odyssey in shaping Ulysses and the evolving critical reception of the novel since its publication. By examining Ulysses and the broader realm of the Joyce industry, this book offers fresh perspectives on the author-reader-text triad within the broader field of literary criticism. It delves into the rich histories of concepts and challenges, raising thought-provoking questions about how we read and interpret literature in the modern era. Through its comprehensive exploration, The Reader's Joyce provides a valuable contribution to the ongoing dialogue between authors, readers, and scholars, enriching our understanding of the literary world and its enduring legacy.
