MoreLong description:
In James Joyce and the Politics of Egoism, first published in 2001, a leading scholar approaches the entire Joycean canon through the concept of 'egoism'. This concept, Jean-Michel Rabat&&&233; argues, runs throughout Joyce's work, and involves and incorporates its opposite, 'hospitality', a term Rabat&&&233; understands as meaning an ethical and linguistic opening to 'the other'. For Rabat&&&233; both concepts emerge from the fact that Joyce published crucial texts in the London based review The Egoist and later moved on to forge strong ties with the international Paris avant-garde. Rabat&&&233; examines the theoretical debates surrounding these connections, linking Joyce's engagement with Irish politics with the aesthetic aspects of his texts. Through egoism, he shows, Joyce defined a literary sensibility founded on negation; through hospitality, Joyce postulated the creation of a new, utopian readership. Rabat&&&233; explores Joyce's complex negotiation between these two poles in a study of interest to all Joyceans and scholars of modernism.
'Jean-Michel Rabat&&&233; is one of our most original, wide-ranging and informed of Joyce critics, and his new study lives up to the very high standards of his earlier work. The range of topics in James Joyce and the Politics of Egoism is typical of Rabat&&&233;'s searching intellect which is constantly finding nuggets of relevant information.' Derek Attridge, University of York
