Polyglot Joyce

Viac o knihe

Exploring the intricate relationship between original texts and their translations, Patrick O'Neill presents a framework for understanding James Joyce's writings as a cohesive polyglot macrotext. He introduces the concept of 'transtextual reading,' which allows for a comparative analysis of Joyce's works alongside their various translations. This approach reveals how translations enrich rather than alter the original texts, offering insights into Joyce's oeuvre from Dubliners to Finnegans Wake and extending to the broader realm of translated literature.
