Reissued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Bloomsday, Reading Joyce's 'Ulysses' includes a new preface taking account of scholarly and critical development since its original publication. It shows how the now important issues of post-colonialism, feminism, Irish Studies and urban culture are addressed within the text, as well as a discussion of how the book can be used by both beginners and seasoned readers. Schwarz not only presents a powerful and original reading of Joyce's great epic novel, but discusses it in terms of a dialogue between recent and more traditional theory. Focusing on what he calls the odyssean reader, Schwarz demonstrates how the experience of reading Ulysses involves responding both to traditional plot and character, and to the novel's stylistic experiments.

Reconfiguring Modernism explores the relationship between modern literature and modern art. Spanning the high modernist period between the late-nineteenth century and World War 2, the cultural interrelationships between painters such as Manet, Gauguin, Cezanne, and Picasso, and writers such as James, Conrad, Eliot and Joyce are explored. The influence of African, Asian and Pacific cultures on European modernism is also examined. Schwarz considers texts - visual and written - of the modern period as a contoured textual field without absolute borders, crucial to our understanding of modernism in the last years of the twentieth century.

Imagining the Holocaust

An erudite exploration of how the Holocaust has both inspired and been used in a variety of ways by writers examines such personal accounts as Weisel's Night, fictional treatments, and the satire and fantasy of Spiegleman's Maus.

It is a particular feature of Holocaust fictions that we remember them differently than other fictions, and as the historical period recedes, literature will help keep those events alive. In Imagining the Holocaust, Daniel R. Schwarz examines widely-read

In this study of "Ulysses", the author presents a reading of Joyce's epic novel and discusses it in terms of a dialogue between recent and more traditional literary theory. Focussing on what he calls the Odyssean reader, the author demonstrates how the experience of reading this novel involves responding both to traditional plot and character, and to the novel's stylistic experiments. Schwartz shows how the novel creates a reader who must make deliberate discriminations in his examination of the novel. After three general chapters with addresses on how Joyce's art signifies, Joyce's concept of the hero and the role of the hero, Schwarz provides an episode-by-episode analysis. Daniel Schwarz is the author "The Humanistic Heritage - Critical Theories of the English Novel from James to Hillis Miller", "Disraeli's Fiction" and "The Case for a Humanistic Poetics".
