In James Joyce and the Politics of Egoism a leading scholar approaches the entire Joycean canon through the concept of egoism. This concept, Jean-Michel Rabaté argues, runs throughout Joyce's work, and involves and incorporates its opposite, hospitality, a term Rabaté understands as meaning an ethical and linguistic opening to the other. Rabaté explores Joyce's complex negotiation between these two poles in a study of interest to all scholars of modernism. | James Joyce and the Politics of Egoism by Jean-Michel Rabaté, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
