This final category includes onomastic games occurring only in translations of Joyce’s texts in multiple languages. Joyce was fascinated throughout his life both by etymology and by the possibilities of literary translation, and sustained attention is therefore paid to the ludic implications of literary etymology, translational issues, onomastic enigmas and puzzles, and multiple humorous varieties of deliberate teasing and misdirection of the reader.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe project, to be thought of as a reader’s handbook or reader’s guide to Joyce’s onomastic practice, is structured in the form of a dictionary, the alphabetical format allowing for multiple and varied cross-references.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":57297734041944,"sku":"9781049805566","price":87.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781049805566.jpg?v=1778836592","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/onomastic-joyce","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
