ISBN: 0521804256 ISBN-13: 9780521804257 Publisher: Cambridge University Press OUR PRICE: $114.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: August 2001 Annotation: In James Joyce and the Politics of Egoism a leading scholar approaches the entire Joycean canon through the concept of "egoism." This concept, Jean-Michel Rabate argues, runs throughout Joyce's work, and involves and incorporates its opposite, "hospitality," a term Rabate understands as meaning an ethical and linguistic opening to "the other." Rabate explores Joyce's complex negotiation between these two poles in a study of interest to all scholars of modernism. |
