In a paradigm shift away from classical understandings of geometry, nineteenthcentury mathematicians developed new systems that featured surprising concepts such as the idea that parallel lines can curve and intersect. Providing evidence to confirm much that has largely been speculation, Joyce and Geometry reveals the full extent to which the modernist writer James Joyce was influenced by the radical theories of nonEuclidean geometry.Through close readings of Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, and Joyces notebooks, Ciaran McMorran demonstrates that Joyces experiments with nonlinearity stem from a fascination with these new mathematical concepts. He highlights the mazelike patterns traced by Joyces characters as they wander Dublins streets; he explores recurring motifs such as the topography of the Earths curved surface and time as the fourth dimension of space; and he investigates in detail the enormous influence of Giordano Bruno, Henri Poincar, and other writers who were critical of the Euclidean tradition.Arguing that Joyces obsession with measuring and mapping space throughout his works encapsulates a modern crisis between geometric and linguistic modes of representation, McMorran delves into a major theme in Joyces work that has not been fully explored until now.A volume in the Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sebastian D. G. Knowles
