ABOUT THIS BOOK
The French Joyce is the first book to trace the French critical reception of James Joyce’s work. Serious French interest in the lrish writer coincided with the rise of poststructuralism, and Geert Lernout pays particular attention to Joycean criticism by Lacan, Derrida, and Cixous, who have provided the basis for psychoanalytical, philosophical, and feminist readings. The author provides a provocative critique of poststructuralist readings as well as a lucid historical review of the French intellectual climate from the sixties to the present.
