Description
James Joyce's Painful Case is an insightful study of one of the author's most complex stories, exploring its place within Joyce's broader oeuvre and its engagement with key philosophical and religious questions of his time.
This comprehensive analysis examines the dense intertextuality of "A Painful Case", tracing the ways in which it reflects and refracts Joycean themes and influences. Through a nuanced reading of the text, Cóilín Owens reveals new insights into the character of James Duffy and the intellectual trajectory that defines his life.
As a valuable companion to reading Dubliners, this book offers a rich understanding of Joyce's work and its enduring relevance. Owens's thorough research and close reading make it an essential resource for scholars and students seeking to deepen their understanding of Joyce's fiction.
