The famous mythologist, Joseph Campbell, compels us to get our way through Finnegans Wake by evoking some of the Joyce's language while he writes his analysis. This is the opposite of dry text. The title skeleton implies that you will be rattled by Campbell's shaking meaning and iportance off of Joyce's over-abundant tree of knowledge. ( ) Joseph Campbell's A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake is a great way to unlock the master work of James Joyce. It gives the reader enough information about every chapter to open up the thousands of threads on every page. The reader can experience as much or as little of the puzzles, puns, and brilliance of the author as she wants. The avid reader may need a word by word translation of the novel in addition to the skeleton key. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Since its publication in 1939, countless would-be readers of Finnegans Wake -- James Joyce's masterwork that consumed a third of his life -- have given up after a few pages and dismissed it as a "perverse triumph of the unintelligible." In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first "key" or guide to entering the fascinating, disturbing, marvelously rich world of Finnegans Wake. The authors break down Joyce's "unintelligible" book page by page, stripping the text of much of its obscurity and serving up thoughtful interpretations via footnotes and bracketed commentary. A Skeleton Key was Campbell's first book, published five years before he wrote his breakthrough Hero with a Thousand Faces. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
