It's natural things should not be so clear at night, isn't it now?

Joyce's claims to be representing the night and dreams have been accepted and questioned with greater and lesser credulity. This conceptualisation of the Wake as a dream is a point of contention for some. Harry Burrell, representative of this view, argues that "one of the most overworked ideas is that Finnegans Wake is about a dream. It is not, and there is no dreamer.

While many, if not all, agree that there is at least some sense in which the book can be said to be a "dream", few agree on who the possible dreamer of such a dream might be. Earwicker , made the assumption that Earwicker himself is the dreamer of the dream, an assumption which continued to carry weight with Wakean scholars Harry Levin, Hugh Kenner, and William Troy. Ruth von Phul was the first to argue that Earwicker was not the dreamer, which triggered a number of similarly-minded views on the matter, although her assertion that Shem was the dreamer has found less support.

The assertion that the dream was that of Mr. Porter, whose dream personality personified itself as HCE, came from the critical idea that the dreamer partially wakes during chapter III. Porter and his family are asleep for the greater part of the book [ Porter dreams hard, and we are permitted to share his dream [ Harriet Weaver was among the first to suggest that the dream was not that of any one dreamer, but was rather an analysis of the process of dreaming itself.

In a letter to J. In particular their ascription of the whole thing to a dream of HCE seems to me nonsensical. My view is that Mr. Joyce did not intend the book to be looked upon as the dream of any one character, but that he regarded the dream form with its shiftings and changes and chances as a convenient device, allowing the freest scope to introduce any material he wished—and suited to a night-piece.

Bernard Benstock also argued that "The Dreamer in the Wake is more than just a single individual, even if one assumes that on the literal level we are viewing the dream of publican H. Other critics have been more skeptical of the concept of identifying the dreamer of the book's narrative. Clive Hart argues that "[w]hatever our conclusions about the identity of the dreamer, and no matter how many varied caricatures of him we may find projected into the dream, it is clear that he must always be considered as essentially external to the book, and should be left there.

Speculation about the 'real person' behind the guises of the dream-surrogates or about the function of the dream in relation to the unresolved stresses of this hypothetical mind is fruitless, for the tensions and psychological problems in Finnegans Wake concern the dream-figures living within the book itself. John Bishop has been the most vocal supporter of treating Finnegans Wake absolutely, in every sense, as a description of a dream, the dreamer, and of the night itself; arguing that the book not only represents a dream in an abstract conception, but is fully a literary representation of sleep.

On the subject Bishop writes:. The greatest obstacle to our comprehension of Finnegans Wake [ Bishop has also somewhat brought back into fashion the theory that the Wake is about a single sleeper; arguing that it is not "the 'universal dream' of some disembodied global everyman, but a reconstruction of the night — and a single night — as experienced by 'one stable somebody' whose 'earwitness' on the real world is coherently chronological.

Critics disagree on whether discernible characters exist in Finnegans Wake. For example, Grace Eckley argues that Wakean characters are distinct from each other, [] and defends this with explaining the dual narrators, the "us" of the first paragraph, as well as Shem-Shaun distinctions [] while Margot Norris argues that the "[c]haracters are fluid and interchangeable".

At one time they are persons, at another rivers or stones or trees, at another personifications of an idea, at another they are lost and hidden in the actual texture of the prose, with an ingenuity far surpassing that of crossword puzzles. While characters are in a constant state of flux—constantly changing names, occupations, and physical attributes—a recurring set of core characters, or character types what Norris dubs " ciphers " , are discernible.

Kitcher argues for the father HCE as the book's protagonist, stating that he is "the dominant figure throughout [ His guilt, his shortcomings, his failures pervade the entire book". HCE is referred to by literally thousands of names throughout the book; leading Terence Killeen to argue that in Finnegans Wake "naming is [ As the work progresses the names by which he may be referred to become increasingly abstract such as " Finn MacCool ", [] "Mr. Makeall Gone", [] or "Mr. Many critics see Finnegan, whose death, wake and resurrection are the subject of the opening chapter, as either a prototype of HCE, or as another of his manifestations.

One of the reasons for this close identification is that Finnegan is called a "man of h od, c ement and e difices" and "like H aroun C hilderic E ggeberth", [] identifying him with the initials HCE. Parrinder for example states that "Bygmester Finnegan [ For over six hundred pages, Joyce presents Anna Livia to us almost exclusively through other characters, much as in Ulysses we hear what Molly Bloom has to say about herself only in the last chapter. Similarly hundreds of city names are woven into "Haveth Childers Everywhere", the corresponding passage at the end of III. As a result, it is generally contended that HCE personifies the Viking -founded city of Dublin, and his wife ALP personifies the river Liffey , on whose banks the city was built.

Parrinder argues that "as daughter and sister, she is an object of secret and repressed desire both to her father [ Shaun is portrayed as a dull postman , conforming to society's expectations, while Shem is a bright artist and sinister experimenter, often perceived as Joyce's alter-ego in the book. He is possessed of a musical voice and is a braggart. He is not happy in his work, which is that of a messenger or a postman; he would rather be a priest.

Like their father, Shem and Shaun are referred to by different names throughout the book, such as "Caddy and Primas"; [] " Mercius " and " Justius "; [] [] "Dolph and Kevin"; [] and "Jerry and Kevin". The most commonly recurring characters outside of the Earwicker family are the four old men known collectively as "Mamalujo" a conflation of their names: These four most commonly serve as narrators, but they also play a number of active roles in the text, such as when they serve as the judges in the court case of I.

Tindall summarises the roles that these old men play as those of the Four Masters , the Four Evangelists , and the four Provinces of Ireland " Matthew , from the north, is Ulster ; Mark , from the south, is Munster ; Luke , from the east, is Leinster ; and John , from the west, is Connaught ". In addition to the four old men, there are a group of twelve unnamed men who always appear together, and serve as the customers in Earwicker's pub, gossipers about his sins, jurors at his trial and mourners at his wake. Kate, the maid, and Joe, who is by turns handyman and barman in Earwicker's pub.

Joyce invented a unique polyglot-language or idioglossia solely for the purpose of this work. This language is composed of composite words from some sixty to seventy world languages, [] combined to form puns , or portmanteau words and phrases intended to convey several layers of meaning at once. Senn has labelled Finnegans Wake' s language as " polysemetic ", [90] and Tindall as an " Arabesque ". The accepted significations of the words are secondary. While commentators emphasize how this manner of writing can communicate multiple levels of meaning simultaneously, Hayman and Norris contend that its purpose is as much to obscure and disable meaning as to expand it.

Hayman writes that access to the work's "tenuous narratives" may only be achieved through "the dense weave of a language designed as much to shield as to reveal them. Ruch has dubbed Joyce's new language "dreamspeak," and describes it as "a language that is basically English, but extremely malleable and all-inclusive, rich with portmanteau words, stylistic parodies, and complex puns.

Although Joyce died shortly after the publication of Finnegans Wake , during the work's composition the author made a number of statements concerning his intentions in writing in such an original manner. In a letter to Max Eastman, for example, Joyce suggested that his decision to employ such a unique and complex language was a direct result from his attempts to represent the night:. In writing of the night I really could not, I felt I could not, use words in their ordinary connections.

Used that way they do not express how things are in the night, in the different stages — the conscious, then semi-conscious, then unconscious. I found that it could not be done with words in their ordinary relations and connections. When morning comes of course everything will be clear again [ I'm not destroying it for good. Joyce is also reported as having told Arthur Power that "what is clear and concise can't deal with reality, for to be real is to be surrounded by mystery.

It ought to be good enough for me", [] and to the objection of triviality he replied "Yes. Some of the means I use are trivial — and some are quadrivial. Sources tell us that Joyce relished delving into the history and the changing meanings of words, his primary source being An Etymological Dictionary of the English Language by the Rev. Skeat Oxford, at the Clarendon Press; For example, one of the very first entries in Skeat is for the letter A, which begins: This writing that you find so obscure is a quintessential extraction of language and painting and gesture, with all the inevitable clarity of the old inarticulation.

Here is the savage economy of hieroglyphics. Faced with the obstacles to be surmounted in "understanding" Joyce's text, a handful of critics have suggested readers focus on the rhythm and sound of the language, rather than solely on "meaning. Those who have heard Mr. Joyce read aloud from Work in Progress know the immense rhythmic beauty of his technique. It has a musical flow that flatters the ear, that has the organic structure of works of nature, that transmits painstakingly every vowel and consonant formed by his ear. The Canadian critic, historian and novelist Patrick Watson has also argued this point, writing that.

Those people who say the book is unreadable have not tried reading it aloud. This is the secret. If you even mouth the words silently, suddenly what seemed incomprehensible Hubert Butler called it "Joyce's learned gibberish," leaps into referential meaning, by its sound, since page after page is rich in allusion to familiar phrases, parables, sayings of all kinds — and the joyous and totally brilliant wordplay, over and over again imperceivable until you actually listen to it — transforms what was an unrelievable agony into an adventure.

Finnegans Wake incorporates a high number of intertextual allusions and references to other texts; Parrinder refers to it as "a remarkable example of intertextuality" containing a "wealth of literary reference. These allusions, rather than directly quoting or referencing a source, normally enter the text in a contorted fashion, often through humorous plays on words. For example, Hamlet Prince of Denmark becomes "Camelot, prince of dinmurk" [] and the Epistle to the Hebrews becomes a "farced epistol to the hibruws". Vico argued that the world was coming to the end of the last of three ages, these being the age of gods, the age of heroes, and the age of humans.

These ideas recur throughout Finnegans Wake , informing the book's four-part structure. Vico's name appears a number of times throughout the Wake , indicating the work's debt to his theories, such as "The Vico road goes round and round to meet where terms begin. One of the sources Joyce drew from is the Ancient Egyptian story of Osiris , [] and the Egyptian Book of the Dead , a collection of spells and invocations. Bishop asserts that "it is impossible to overlook the vital presence of the Book of the Dead in Finnegans Wake , which refers to ancient Egypt in countless tags and allusions.

Budgen followed Joyce's advice with his paper "Joyce's Chapters of Going Forth by Day", highlighting many of the allusions to Egyptian mythology in the book. The Tristan and Iseult legend — a tragic love triangle between the Irish princess Iseult, the Cornish knight Tristan and his uncle King Mark — is also oft alluded to in the work, particularly in II. Fargnoli and Gillespie argue that "various themes and motifs throughout Finnegans Wake , such as the cuckoldry of Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker a King Mark figure and Shaun's attempts at seducing Issy, relate directly to Tristan and Isolde [ Not only Irish mythology, but also notable real-life Irish figures are alluded to throughout the text.

For example, HCE is often identified with Charles Stewart Parnell , and Shem's attack on his father in this way mirrors the attempt of forger Richard Pigott to incriminate Parnell in the Phoenix Park Murders of by means of false letters. But, given the flexibility of allusion in Finnegans Wake HCE assumes the character of Pigott as well, for just as HCE betrays himself to the cad , Pigott betrayed himself at the inquiry into admitting the forgery by his spelling of the word "hesitancy" as "hesitency"; and this misspelling appears frequently in the Wake.

Finnegans Wake also makes a great number of allusions to religious texts. When HCE is first introduced in chapter I. Spinks further highlights this allusion by highlighting that like HCE's unspecified crime in the park, Adam also "commits a crime in a garden". For example, one of the main tales of chapter II.

Indeed, most of Ibsen's works, many of his characters and also some quotations are referenced in the Wake. While Joyce was working on Finnegans Wake , he wanted to insert references to Scandinavian languages and literature , hiring five teachers of Norwegian. The first one turned out to be the poet Olaf Bull. He was looking for puns and unusual associations across the barriers of language, a practice Bull well understood. Lines from Bull's poems echo through Finnegans Wake , and Bull himself materializes under the name "Olaph the Oxman", a pun on his surname. An extreme example of the Wake's language are a series of ten one-hundred letter words spread throughout the text although the tenth instead has a hundred and one letters.

The first such word occurs on the text's first page; all ten are presented in the context of their complete sentences, below. These ten words have come to be known as thunders , thunderclaps , or thunderwords , based upon interpretation of the first word as being a portmanteau of several word-forms for thunder, in several languages.

Marshall's son Eric McLuhan carried on his father's interpretation of the thunders, publishing The Role of Thunder in Finnegans Wake , a book expressly devoted to the meaning of the ten words. But you could come near it, we do suppose, strong Shaun O', we foresupposed.

The value of Finnegans Wake as a work of literature has been a point of contention since the time of its appearance, in serial form, in literary reviews of the s. Initial response, to both its serialised and final published forms, was almost universally negative. Even close friends and family were disapproving of Joyce's seemingly impenetrable text, with Joyce's brother Stanislaus "rebuk[ing] him for writing an incomprehensible night-book", [] and former friend Oliver Gogarty believing the book to be a joke, pulled by Joyce on the literary community, referring to it as "the most colossal leg pull in literature since Macpherson's Ossian ".

Wells , in a personal letter to Joyce, argued that "you have turned your back on common men, on their elementary needs and their restricted time and intelligence [ It seems to me you are wasting your genius. The wider literary community were equally disparaging, with D. Lawrence declaring, in reaction to the sections of the Wake being published individually as "Work in Progress", "My God, what a clumsy olla putrida James Joyce is! Nothing but old fags and cabbage-stumps of quotations from the Bible and the rest, stewed in the juice of deliberate journalistic dirty-mindedness — what old and hard-worked staleness, masquerading as the all-new!

In , these essays along with a few others written for the occasion were collected under the title Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress and published by Shakespeare and Company. This collection featured Samuel Beckett 's first commissioned work, the essay "Dante As Margot Norris highlights, the agenda of this first generation of Wake critics and defenders was "to assimilate Joyce's experimental text to an already increasingly established and institutionalized literary avant-garde" and "to foreground Joyce's last work as spearhead of a philosophical avant-garde bent on the revolution of language".

Upon its publication in , Finnegans Wake received a series of mixed, but mostly negative reviews. Louise Bogan , writing for Nation , surmised that while "the book's great beauties, its wonderful passages of wit, its variety, its mark of genius and immense learning are undeniable [ Ifor Evans, writing in the Manchester Guardian , similarly argued that, due to its difficulties, the book "does not admit of review", and argued that, perhaps "in twenty years' time, with sufficient study and with the aid of the commentary that will doubtless arise, one might be ready for an attempt to appraise it.

Joyce's latest volume as the work of a charlatan. But the author of Dubliners , A Portrait of the Artist and Ulysses is not a charlatan, but an artist of very considerable proportions. I prefer to suspend judgement In the time since Joyce's death, the book's admirers have struggled against public perception of the work to make exactly this argument for Finnegans Wake. One of the book's early champions was Thornton Wilder , who wrote to Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas in August , a few months after the book's publication: A lot of thanks to him".

As a result, from the s to the s critical emphasis moved away from positioning the Wake as a "revolution of the word" and towards readings that stressed its "internal logical coherence", as "the avant-gardism of Finnegans Wake was put on hold [and] deferred while the text was rerouted through the formalistic requirements of an American criticism inspired by New Critical dicta that demanded a poetic intelligibility, a formal logic, of texts.

In , Clive Hart wrote the first major book-length study of the work since Campbell's Skeleton Key , Structure and Motif in "Finnegans Wake" which approached the work from the increasingly influential field of structuralism.

EAR, NOSE, THROAT

However through the s it was to be French post-structuralist theory that was to exert the most influence over readings of Finnegans Wake , refocussing critical attention back to the work's radical linguistic experiments and their philosophical consequences. Jacques Derrida developed his ideas of literary " deconstruction " largely inspired by Finnegans Wake as detailed in the essay "Two Words for Joyce" , and as a result literary theory —in particular post-structuralism —has embraced Joyce's innovation and ambition in Finnegans Wake.

What is the definitive one? I almost replied, "Yes, there are two of them, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. The text's influence on other writers has grown since its initial shunning, and contemporary American author Tom Robbins is among the writers working today to have expressed his admiration for Joyce's complex last work:. There's so many layers of puns and references to mythology and history. But it's the most realistic novel ever written. Which is exactly why it's so unreadable. He wrote that book the way that the human mind works.

An intelligent, inquiring mind. And that's just the way consciousness is. It's just one thing piled on another. And all kinds of cross references. And he just takes that to an extreme. There's never been a book like it and I don't think there ever will be another book like it. And it's absolutely a monumental human achievement.

But it's very hard to read. More recently, Finnegans Wake has become an increasingly accepted part of the critical literary canon, although detractors still remain. As an example, John Bishop described the book's legacy as that of "the single most intentionally crafted literary artifact that our culture has produced [ Throughout the seventeen years that Joyce wrote the book, Finnegans Wake was published in short excerpts in a number of literary magazines, most prominently in the Parisian literary journals Transatlantic Review and Eugene Jolas 's transition. It has been argued that " Finnegans Wake , much more so than Ulysses , was very much directly shaped by the tangled history of its serial publication.

The eight page "Mamalujo" sketch became the first fragment from the book to be published in its own right, in Transatlantic Review 1. In four sketches from the developing work were published. Eugene Jolas befriended Joyce in , and as a result serially published revised fragments from Part I in his transition literary journal.

This began with the debut of the book's opening chapter, under the title "Opening Pages of a Work in Progress", in April By November chapters I. At this point, Joyce started publishing individual chapters from Work in Progress. In , Harry and Caresse Crosby , owners of the Black Sun Press , contacted James Joyce through bookstore owner Sylvia Beach and arranged to print three short fables about the novel's three children Shem, Shaun and Issy that had already appeared in translation.

Rather than reset the entire book, he suggested to the Crosby's that they ask Joyce to write an additional eight lines to fill in the remainder of the page. Caresse refused, insisting that a literary master would never alter his work to fix a printer's error. Lescaret appealed directly to Joyce, who promptly wrote the eight lines requested.

Part II was published serially in transition between February and May , and a final individual book publication, Storiella as She Is Syung , was published by Corvinus Press in , made up of sections from what would become chapter II. By virtually all of Finnegans Wake was in print in the transition serialisation and in the booklets, with the exception of Part IV. Joyce continued to revise all previously published sections until Finnegans Wake' s final published form, resulting in the text existing in a number of different forms, to the point that critics can speak of Finnegans Wake being a different entity to Work in Progress.

The book was finally published simultaneously by Faber and Faber in London and by Viking Press in New York on 4 May , after seventeen years of composition. In March , a new "critically emended edition" was published in a limited edition of 1, copies by Houyhnhnm Press [] in conjunction with Penguin. This edition was published in a trade edition in Despite its linguistic complexity, Finnegans Wake has been translated into French, [] German, [] Greek, [] Japanese, [] Korean, [] Polish, [] Spanish, [] Dutch, [] Portuguese, [] and Turkish.

John Cage 's Roaratorio: Recreating Finnegans Wake [in its whole wholume] set Finnegans Wake to music unabridged, featuring an international group of musicians and Joyce enthusiasts. Bartnicki 's intersemiotic translations into sound [] and verbovisual. Finnegans Wake is a difficult text, and Joyce did not aim it at the general reader. Esther Greenwood, Sylvia Plath 's protagonist in The Bell Jar , is writing her college thesis on the 'twin images' in Finnegans Wake , although she never manages to finish either the book or her thesis.

In music, the American composer Samuel Barber composed a piece for orchestra in entitled Fadograph of a Yestern Scene , a quote from the first part of the novel. The Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu used several quotes from the novel in his music: His piano concerto is called Far calls. Similarly, he entitled his string quartet A Way a Lone , taken from the last sentence of the work. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
