The Sound of Finnegans Wake


Add your own review!

Overview

This text is an analysis of the aspects of sound in James Joyce's book ""Finnegans Wake"". It considers phonetic symbolism, rhythm, pitch-contours, motifs and songs in a way which shows how Joyce's work has a genuinely musical layer that is particularly apparent when the book is read aloud. The assumption that there is no relationship, other than an arbitrary one, between sound and meaning is seriously challenged. Peter Myers is the author of ""An Introduction to ""Five Sisters"", York"" and ""Rice Krispies"".
