{"product_id":"joyce-and-the-law-9780813064475","title":"Joyce and the Law","description":"Making the case that legal issues are central to James Joyce's life and work, international experts in law and literature offer new insights into Joyce's most important texts. They analyze \u003ci\u003eDubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Giacomo Joyce, Ulysses\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e in light of the legal contexts of Joyce's day. Topics include marriage laws, the Aliens Act of 1905, laws governing display and use of language, minority rights debates, municipal self-government, rentier culture, and regulations on alcohol consumption and licensing. This volume also highlights Joyce's own fascination with law and legal inquiry and explores how, by adopting a unique visual and linguistic style, Joyce constructed an authorial identity that mirrored the process of trademark. It also offers a deeper understanding of Judge John Woolsey's decision in the \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e obscenity case and reveals the many ways copyright has affected publication of Joyce's work and the scholarly and aesthetic use of his words. These discussions show how reading Joyce alongside the law enriches both legal studies and literary scholarship. A volume in the Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sebastian D. G.
