James Joyce and Cultural Memory

In the final volume of the Memory Ireland series, scholars of English literature and Irish studies who specialize in Joyce explore his use of and contribution to cultural memory. They cover amnesia, forgetting, and the nation in Ulysses; history and trauma in Ulysses; memory and ethics in "The Dead;" Joyce and Jewish memory; Roger Casement, James Joyce, and the Irish nationalist hero; deforestation and its cultural resonances; nation building, the historical record, and cultural memory in Finnegans Wake; ghosts through absence; Old Testaments and New; his uses and abuses of memory; commemorating Ulysses, the Bloomsday centenary, and the Irish citizenship referendum; and Joyce, the republic, and photographic memory.
