Description
This book is a compilation of essays about the relationship between music and the literary works of James Joyce. Some of the essays focus on how music can be used to understand Joyce's works better, while others discuss specific pieces of music that are inspired by or related to Joyce's work.
The contributors to this volume investigate several themes about music's relationship to the literary compositions of James Joyce: music as a condition to which Joyce aspired; music theory as a useful way of reading his works; and musical compositions inspired by or connected with him.
