解説
The funeral of Paddy Dignam in James Joyce's Ulysses serves as the pivotal event of the 'Hades' episode. This volume explores how Dignam's interment in Glasnevin Cemetery allowed Joyce the freedom to consider the conventions, rituals and superstitions associated with death and burial in Dublin.
Integrating the words and characters of Ulysses with its figurative locale, the book looks at the presence of Dublin in Ulysses, and Ulysses in Dublin. It emphasises the highly visible public role assigned to death in Joyce's world, while also appreciating how it is woven into the universe of Ulysses. The study examines the role of Glasnevin Cemetery - where the Joyce family plot was opened in 1880 and remained in use for eight decades - as well as the social and medical problems associated with life in Dublin, a city divided by class, status, wealth and health. Nineteen burials took place in Glasnevin on 16 June 1904, and the analysis of this group illuminates the role of undertakers and insurers, along with the importance of memorialisation.
This book is an important contribution to Joyce and Irish studies, as well as to international studies related to the treatment of the dead body and the development of garden cemeteries.
