Book Description
James Joyce and Nationalism revises the conventional understanding of Joyce's relationship to Irish politics. Examining the aesthics of modernism and political nationalism, Nolan argues that both formations were responses to changing conditions of modernity. She deftly provides alternative conceptions of nationalism to issue her argument.
The book also offers a polemical introduction to Joyce and the vast field of Joycean studies. It represents an important, theoretically engaged intervention into debates about Joyce's politics and the politics of modernism by an Irish critic, and provides a high-minded and critical reading of the related fields of modernism, Irish culture, post-colonialism, and gender and nationalism.
