James Joyce and the Politics of Egoism

Klappentext In this book Jean-Michel Rabate approaches the Joycean canon through the concept of 'egoism'. Zusammenfassung In this 2001 book Jean-Michel Rabaté approaches the Joycean canon through the concept of 'egoism'. This concept, Rabaté argues, runs throughout Joyce's work, and involves and incorporates its opposite, 'hospitality'.
