Description

James Joyce's Finnegans Wake has been translated into numerous languages, defying its reputation as untranslatable. This study explores the diverse approaches adopted by translators to tackle Joyce's complex text. Patrick O'Neill builds on his earlier work, Polyglot Joyce, to examine Finnegans Wake in depth. He compares and contrasts different translations, revealing how they have collectively expanded the novel into an even more extensive macrotext. By analyzing translated excerpts, O'Neill sheds light on the textual effects generated by these approaches, demonstrating how attempts to translate this extraordinary text have resulted in a cumulative extension of its meaning.
