Rewriting Joyces Europe sheds light on how the text and physical design of James Joyces two most challenging works, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, reflect changes that transformed Europe between World Wars I and II. Looking beyond the commonly studied Irish historical context of these works, Tekla Mecsnber calls for more attention to their place among broader cultural and political processes of the interwar era.Published in 1922 and 1939, Ulysses and Finnegans Wake display Joyces keen interest in naming, language choice, and visual aspects of writing. Mecsnber shows the connections between these literary explorations and the realworld remapping of national borders that was often accompanied by the imposition of new placenames, languages, and alphabets. In addition to drawing on extensive research in newspaper archives as well as genetic criticism, Mecsnber provides the first comprehensive analysis of meanings suggested by the typographic design of early editions of Joyces texts.Mecsnber argues that Joyces fascination with the visual nature of writing not only shows up as a motif in his books but also can be seen in the writers active role within European and North American print culture as he influenced the design of his published works. This illuminating study highlights the enduringand often surprisingpolitical stakes in choices regarding the use and visual representation of languages. A volume in the Florida James Joyce Series, edited by Sebastian D. G. Knowles
