Michelle Witen examines Joyce's claim of having structured the \"Sirens†? episode of his masterpiece, \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e, as a \u003ci\u003efuga per canonem\u003c\/i\u003e, and his changing musical project from his early works, such as \u003ci\u003eDubliners \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eA \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ePortrait of the Artist as a Young Man\u003c\/i\u003e. Informed by a deep understanding of music theory and history, the book goes on to consider the \"pure music†? of Joyce's final work, \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e. Demonstrating the importance of music to Joyce, this ground-breaking study reveals new depths to this enduring body of work.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47115314954480,"sku":"9781350014237","price":91.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781350014237_p0.jpg?v=1763711668","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781350014237","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
