<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>One may wonder that new ways of reading James Joyce continue to emerge, but as Jonathan Goldman and his fourteen contributors demonstrate, Joyce's key writings beg to be analyzed alongside Irish law and legal history. Together, these essays demonstrate how legal research elucidates the movements and motivations of Joyce's characters and the language and shape of his narratives.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Making the case that legal issues are central to James Joyce's life and work, international experts in law and literature offer new insights into Joyce's most important texts. They analyze <i>Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Giacomo Joyce, Ulysses</i>, and <i>Finnegans Wake</i> in light of the legal contexts of Joyce's day.</p><p>Topics include marriage laws, the Aliens Act of 1905, laws governing display and use of language, minority rights debates, municipal self-government, rentier culture, and regulations on alcohol consumption and licensing. This volume also highlights Joyce's own fascination with law and legal inquiry and explores how, by adopting a unique visual and linguistic style, Joyce constructed an authorial identity that mirrored the process of trademark. It also offers a deeper understanding of Judge John Woolsey's decision in the Ulysses obscenity case and reveals the many ways copyright has affected publication of Joyce's work and the scholarly and aesthetic use of his words. These discussions show how reading Joyce alongside the law enriches both legal studies and literary scholarship.</p> <b>Contributors: </b> Janine Utell - Carey Mickalites - Steven Morrison - Tekla Mecsnober - Richard Cole - Celia Marshik - Andrew Gibson - Robert Brazeu - Adrian Hardiman - Anne Marie D'Arcy - Terence Killeen - Jonathan Goldman - Joseph Hassett - Kevin Birmingham - Robert Spoo - Amanda Golden<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Brilliantly demonstrates how law and literature intermingle in Joyce's trajectory but also transcend the case study, opening the door to a new take on high modernist fiction."--<i><b>Forum for Modern Language Studies</i></b> "The essays of <i>Joyce and the Law</i> expand our understanding of the social milieu that Joyce manifested in his works. . . .
