Description
The most complete and accurate account to date of the composition of James Joyce's greatest work."-Roland McHugh, author of Annotations to Finnegans Wake "A major step forward in the critical history of the book that is Joyce's most challenging work and one of the twentieth century's most significant artistic productions."-Derek Attridge, University of York "Insightful and relevant, this volume significantly advances the explorations of earlier studies. It is the first comprehensive genetic discussion of Finnegans Wake chapter by chapter, and anyone seriously interested in Joyce and the Wake will benefit from reading it."-A. Nicholas Fargnoli, Molloy College "In total, the essays in this collection make a compelling case about how the Wake can be better understood by seeing it through its 'work in progress', that is, through its seventeen-year gestation. . . . How Joyce Wrote Finnegans Wake is a major achievement and represents a significant advance in genetic studies."-Year's Work in English Studies
