Abstract

DEL CONDE, Teresa. James Joyce and Lucia Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Carl Gustav Jung and the Wake. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2013, vol.35, n.103, pp.141-176. ISSN 0185-1276.

This essay sets forth-within a medium in which linguistic investigations were burgeoning, above all with dadaism-the possible influence of Lucia Joyce on Finnegans Wake, James Joyce's posthumous masterpiece. The critical essay detects, lucidly and sensitively, the plays on words with which the abundant prose of the Wake begins, thus showing the enormous potential for associations of the words in the very process of reading and its reflection in the attempt at translation made by Mexican writer Salvador Elizondo. It also reveals the roles played by persons close to the Joyces, such as Samuel Beckett and Carl Gustav Jung. The drift of the essay is thus a complement to and revision of Carol Loeb Schloss's biography.

Keywords : James Joyce; Lucia Joyce; Samuel Beckett; Carl Gustav Jung; Finnegans Wake.
