Representations of 'the Jew' have long been a topic of interest in Joyce studies. Neil Davison argues that Joyce's lifelong encounter with pseudo-scientific, religious and political discourse about 'the Jew' forms a unifying component of his career. Davison offers new biographical material, and presents a detailed reading of Ulysses showing how Joyce draws on Christian folklore, Dreyfus Affair propaganda, Sinn Fein politics, and theories of Jewish sexual perversion and financial conspiracy. Throughout, Joyce confronts the controversy of 'race', the psychology of internalised stereotype, and the contradictions of fin-de-siècle anti-Semitism.

From reviews of the first edition: "The first book-length effort to lay out the pieces of Joyce's complicated affinities with the Jews. . . . Joyce saw in language per se something of the power, the magic, that energized much of Judaic study. And it is here that Nadel's study strikes me as both more sophisticated in its scholarly approach and more knowledgeable about the connectors between Joyce and Judaism than previous critics. . . . Nadel's thesis makes good sense--both in Joycean and in Judaic terms. Indeed, it is this happy combination that makes Joyce and the Jews worth 're-joycing' about."--Sanford Pinsker, Modern Judaism "As Ira Nadel amply demonstrates, Joyce's affinities with the Jews, whether in their way of life or in their beliefs, impinged upon his personal and artistic development. Why Joyce ever identified with the Jews--a central question never systematically studied before--forms the subject matter of this carefully documented and ably argued book."--Dominic Manganiello, James Joyce Quarterly "A short, lucid book filled with detailed accounts of Jewish history and culture, which are adroitly linked to Joyce's biography, letters, the books in his library, notebooks, notesheets, drafts, and his novels. Ira Nadel . . . writes clearly, moves nimbly, argues incisively. . . . He also extends the reach of the tradition that Joyce strove to escape, expose, parody, and undermine."--Richard Pearce, James Joyce Literary Supplement "Provides us with a very informed description of just how exactly Jewish Bloom is, what he knows and doesn't know of his heritage, how he loves and hates it, accepts and rejects it, quotes and misquotes its literature. And, most importantly, Nadel shows us how important the Talmud is as a model of the Wake."--Terrence Doody, Novel James Joyce, an Irish Catholic by upbringing, was described as "the greatest Jew of all" by his countryman and fellow writer Frank O'Connor. In this exploration of Joyce's identity with Jews and their cultural heritage, Ira Nadel's thesis is that Joyce's Judaism is textual, his Jewishness cultural. Beginning with a narrative of the exodus undertaken by Joyce in 1904 when he left Ireland, Nadel examines parallels between Joycean and Judaic concepts of history, typology, and cultural identity. He also reviews major Jewish events that occurred in each of the cities where Joyce lived. Ira B. Nadel is professor of English at the University of British Columbia. He is the author of Biography: Fiction, Fact, and Form and the coeditor of many books, including Orwell: A Reassessment; Gertrude Stein and The Making of Literature; and Victorian Biography: A Collection of Essays from the Period. His biography of singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen has just been published.

This dissertation attempts to extend the work of other scholars who have explored James Joyce's interest in Judaism (Ira Nadel's Joyce and the Jews, Neil Davison's James Joyce 'Ulysses' and the Construction of Jewish Identity and Marilyn Reizbaum's James Joyce's Judaic Other). I focus on aspects of his engagement with Jewish life and more especially the Jewish religion that have not received the attention they deserve by these and other scholars. To that end, I discuss his engagement with the tradition of ghetto-writing as found in German in the works of Leopold Sacher-Masoch and developed in English in those of Israel Zangwill. I offer the most detailed account to date of his knowledge of Jewish Biblical hermeneutics. Frederic Farrar's Life and Work of St. Paul (1879) is highlighted for the first time as an important source of Jewish knowledge for Joyce. The importance of midrashic hermeneutics to an understanding of Finnegans Wake and its notebooks, is discussed in detail. Particular attention is paid to his use of certain types of word play, gematriya, notarikon and multilingual punning. A particular preoccupation of this dissertation is Joyce's growing interest in Judaism and Jewish religious life as his career progressed. In exploring the reasons for this deepening engagement, I ask what Joyce's interest in Jewish festivals might tell us about his interest in ritual more generally. Here I draw on the work of the sociologist Emile Durkheim and the paediatrician turned psychoanalyst Donald Woods Winnicott. The references to Jewish religious observances, race and the rituals of Passover and Tabernacles in Joyce's latter works are discussed in the light of recent scholarship by a range of Joyceans, including Len Platt and Vincent Cheng.

This is a detailed reader's guide to James Joyce's masterwork Ulysses, voted the most important novel of the 20th century. The guide provides episode by episode an in depth explanation of the action and symbolism, including a description of the related books of Homer's Odyssey and the correspondences. This guide is designed to give the user the keys to the kingdom of one of the wonders of Western civilization. The non-academic author, a retired lawyer and life long Joyce reader, brings new approaches to find the deep meaning of each of Joyce's episodes and the novel as a whole. The scope of this effort, the complete Joyce, is unique in an area monopolized by more narrowly focused academics. The analysis elucidates Joyce's technique to mimic patterns in history and nature in his architecture of coherence. His medicine for the diseased spirit of our age is a custom blend of Jesus and Buddha, not as they are marketed by institutional religions, but as they lived their lives as humans. Joyce's god is more possibilities in life and art, and this guide will do that for you.

This carefully crafted ebook: "ULYSSES (Modern Classics Series)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature, and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement". Ulysses chronicles the peripatetic appointments and encounters of Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between its characters and events and those of the poem (the correspondence of Leopold Bloom to Odysseus, Molly Bloom to Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus to Telemachus). Joyce divided Ulysses into 18 chapters or "episodes". At first glance much of the book may appear unstructured and chaotic; Joyce once said that he had "put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant", which would earn the novel "immortality". James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses, the short-story collection Dubliners, and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Finnegans Wake.

This book contains eighteen original essays by leading Joyce scholars on the eighteen separate chapters of Ulysses.
