Light cock, light wear; Dust Jacket 3" and 1" tears, light edgewear. Solid hardcover. ; "Although bemused readers might claim that Finnegans Wake is totally unlike anything they've seen before, John Paul Riquelme argues that it is quite closely related to all the rest of Joyce's fiction - indeed, that it represents the ultimate elaboration of the styles, techniques, and concepts that appear throughout the author's work. Questioning conventional notions of chronological development, Riquelme looks backward from Finnegans Wake to A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Stephen Hero, Dubliners, and Ulysses, in that order. He draws upon recent developments in literary theory concerning narrative style and reading to explore the relationship of the early works to later ones. ... traces a complex double movement in James Joyce's literary career as the writer sought to express both individual and collective consciousness in his work." ; 288 pages.
