In this revolutionary work, however, Margot Norris proposes that Joyce's art actually critiques these modernist tenets by revealing an awareness of the artist's connections to and constraints within bourgeois society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn sections organized around three mythologized and aestheticized figures in Joyce's works--artist, woman, and child--Norris' readings \"unravel the web\" of Joyce's early and late stories, novels, and experimental texts. She shows how Joyce's texts employ multiple mechanisms to expose their own distortions, silences, and lies and reveal connections between art and politics, and art and society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis ambitious new reading not only repositions Joyce within contemporary debates about the ideological assumptions behind modernism and postmodernism, but also urges reconsideration of the phenomenon of modernism itself. It will be of interest and importance to all literary scholars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margot Norris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Texas Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Literary Modernism\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780292722552","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45133419774089,"sku":"9780292722552","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_99f6ed7b-307a-4815-b3a4-1fe8addcf48f.jpg?v=1767678273","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/joyces-web-the-social-unraveling-of-modernism-9780292722552","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
