| description | James Joyce’s Ulysses may be considered the quintessential Irish novel, but it is also notable for its critique of insularity. The continental way of life is seen as superior by the two main male characters, Stephen Dedalus, the author’s individualist alter ego, and Leopold Bloom, a Jew who faces hatred from his fellow Dubliners. Based on a systematic survey of the occurrences of the word 'island' (and its derivatives) in the novel, this paper will demonstrate that there is a correlation between the theme of the island and the matter of Jewishness. The question of insularity and that of Jewishness have been widely studied in Ulysses, often separately. Based on canonical material, the paper aims to highlight and comment on the obvious effects of concomitance/co-occurrence, so as to offer a vision of Irish insularity conceived through the prism of Bloom's shifting and alternative identity. |
