James Joyce and the Irish Revolution: The Easter Rising as Modern Event
English
By (author): Professor Luke Gibbons
A provocative history of Ulysses and the Easter Rising as harbingers of decolonization.
When revolutionaries seized Dublin during the 1916 Easter Rising, they looked back to unrequited pasts to point the way toward radical futurestransforming the Celtic Twilight into the electric light of modern Dublin in James Joyces Ulysses. For Luke Gibbons, the short-lived rebellion converted the Irish renaissance into the beginning of a global decolonial movement. James Joyce and the Irish Revolution maps connections between modernists and radicals, tracing not only Joyces projection of Ireland onto the world stage, but also how revolutionary leaders like Ernie OMalley turned to Ulysses to make sense of their shattered worlds. Coinciding with the centenary of both Ulysses and Irish independence, this book challenges received narratives about the rebellion and the novel that left Ireland changed, changed utterly. See more
