A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake: James Joyce's Masterwork Revealed - Study Notesby Joseph Campbell
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:An earlier edition is cited in Books for College Libraries, 3d ed.
Before he became a famous mythographer, American academic Campbell
(1904-87) and novelist and poet Robinson outlined Joyce's 1939 work
page by page and chapter by chapter, simplified and clarified the
complex images and allusions, and provided a continuous narrative
from which readers can venture out on their own. It was published in
1944. The re-issue is part of an effort to make available Campbell's
unpublished and out-of-print work.
Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:Since its publication in 1939, countless would-be readers of Finnegans Wake - James Joyce's masterwork, which consumed a third of his life - have given up after a few pages, dismissing it as a "perverse triumph of the unintelligible." In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first "key" or guide to entering the fascinating, disturbing, marvelously rich world of Finnegans Wake. The authors break down Joyce's "unintelligible" book page by page, stripping the text of much of its obscurity and serving up thoughtful interpretations via footnotes and bracketed commentary. They outline the book's basic action, and then simplify — and clarify — its complex web of images and allusions. A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake is the latest addition to the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
