AREL 810 - Joyce’s Journey

3 credits


While Greek and Roman myths have grounded the Western cultural imagination for more than two millennia, many artists have struggled to transform these ancient stories.  Twentieth-century Ireland produced two writers whose work represents different approaches to such metamorphoses: Yeats, who turned to regional models, and Joyce, who localized the Greco-Roman ones.  This course will explore mythic transformation, with some attention to Yeats’ mythic worlds and special emphasis on Joyce’s early processes and works.
