| Description: |
An exploration of the influence of and connection to German writers and literary traditions in the works of James Joyce. |
| Synopsis: |
In August 1919, a production of James Joyce s "Exiles" was mounted at the Munich Schauspielhaus and quickly fell due to harsh criticism. The reception marked the beginning of a dynamic association between Joyce, German-language writers, and literary critics. It is this relationship that Robert Weninger analyzes in "The German Joyce." Opening a new dimension of Joycean scholarship, this book provides the premier study of Joyce s impact on German-language literature and literary criticism in the twentieth century. The opening section follows Joyce s linear intrusion from the 1910s to the 1990s by focusing on such prime moments as the first German translation of "Ulysses," Joyce s influence on the Marxist Expressionism debate, and the Nazi blacklisting of Joyce s work. Utilizing this historical reception as a narrative backdrop, Weninger then presents Joyce s horizontal diffusion into German culture. Weninger succeeds in illustrating both German readers great attraction to Joyce s work as well as Joyce s affinity with some of the great German masters, from Goethe to Rilke, Brecht, and Thomas Mann. He argues that just as Shakespeare was a model of linguistic exuberance for Germans in the eighteenth century, Joyce became the epitome of poetic inspiration in the twentieth.
