Resonant Texts: Sound, Noise, And Technology In Modern Literature, Leah Hutchison Toth
Resonant Texts: Sound, Noise, And Technology In Modern Literature, Leah Hutchison Toth
Theses and Dissertations--English
“Resonant Texts” draws from literary criticism, history, biography, media theory, and the history of technology to examine representations of sound and acts of listening in modern experimental fiction and drama. I argue that sound recording technology, invented in the late 19th century, equipped 20th century authors including James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Ralph Ellison, and Samuel Beckett with new resources for depicting human consciousness and experience. The works in my study feature what I call “close listening,” a technique initially made possible by the phonograph, which forced listeners to focus exclusively on what they heard without the presence of an accompanying …
Bloom's Inferno: James Joyce's Hidden Dantean Landscape In The "Hades" Episode Of Ulysses, Barry Devine
Bloom's Inferno: James Joyce's Hidden Dantean Landscape In The "Hades" Episode Of Ulysses, Barry Devine
Barry Devine
James Joyce clearly used Homer’s Odyssey and its characters as a model for "Hades"; he makes that explicit on many occasions. Dante's Inferno, however, was another model, perhaps the original model, for this episode. In Homer's epic, Odysseus stops at the entrance to Hades and the spirits come to him. At no point does Odysseus actually enter the underworld, pass through various levels, cross trecherous rivers, and emerge from the other side, but Dante’s pilgrim does, and so does Joyce’s main character, Leopold Bloom. Bloom, encounters all nine levels of Dante's hell (in order), crosses four rivers, and emerges from …

“Daren’T Joke About The Dead”: James Joyce’S Concerted Effort To Include Humor In The “Hades” Episode Of Ulysses, Barry Devine
“Daren’T Joke About The Dead”: James Joyce’S Concerted Effort To Include Humor In The “Hades” Episode Of Ulysses, Barry Devine
Barry Devine
It is now widely accepted that during the revisions between The Little Review and the publication of Ulysses, Joyce went back over many episodes to strengthen the Homeric allusions. He added dozens of flower references to the “Lotus Eaters” episode, food references to “Lestrygonians,” and even more death and underworld allusions to “Hades.” At the same time, however, he was also doing much more than just multiplying the connections to Homer. He also added many allusions to popular culture, Irish nationalism, historical figures, and many more. These new allusions have nothing to do with Homer, but Joyce collected pages of …

He added dozens of flower references to the “Lotus Eaters” episode, food references to “Lestrygonians,” and even more death and underworld allusions to “Hades.” At the same time, however, he was also doing much more than just multiplying the connections to Homer. He also added hundreds of references to Dublin popular culture, Irish nationalism, historical figures, and more. These new allusions have nothing to do with Homer, but Joyce collected pages …
