"James Joyce has traditionally been viewed as the paradigm of international modernism in literature, supremely in his two great masterpieces, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. In this radical reappraisal of his life and writings, Andrew Gibson firmly resituates both in an Irish context, showing them to be intricately bound up in Irish history, politics and culture. In doing so, he argues that, whilst Joyce cannot be understood as exclusively engaged in an Irish-centred endeavour, it is just such an endeavour that powers his work."--Jacket.
