Finnegans Wake and the Irish Revival
View through CrossRef
Finnegans Wake shares important features with Irish Revivalist culture but it is often excluded from discussions regarding James Joyce’s awkward place within the Revival. This chapter argues that despite its post-Revival publication date, Finnegans Wake engages with Revivalist figures and aesthetic practices in ways that are key to understanding the text’s attitudes to the nonhuman world, resurrection and temporality. After addressing Joyce’s engagements with the Revival in the pre-Wake texts and examining his use of early Irish literature as source material, the chapter provides a close reading of Book IV of Finnegans Wake. This section of the Wake contains versions of episodes that Joyce began in the immediate aftermath of the Revival era and it extends a long-running engagement with the movement that Joyce initiated in his earlier poems, stories and lectures. In Book IV, Joyce combines ecology and Catholicism to offer an alternative, post-Revival vision of the Irish landscape, Irish history and time itself.
