Críticas:

"An important contribution to genetic textual scholarship, the study of the process of a writer's production.... To enable us to grasp [Joyce's] process in its very becoming, as this book does, is a huge achievement." - Terence Killeen, The Irish Times "Insightful and relevant.... It is the first comprehensive genetic discussion of Finnegans Wake chapter by chapter, and anyone seriously interested in Joyce and the Wake will benefit from reading it." - A. Nicholas Fargnoli, Molloy College "A major step forward in the critical history of the book that is Joyce's most challenging work and one of the twentieth century's most significant artistic productions." - Derek Attridge, University of York"

Reseña del editor:

In this landmark study of James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, Luca Crispi and Sam Slote have brought together fourteen other leading Joyce experts in a genetic guide to one of the twentieth century's most intriguing works of fiction. Each essay approaches Finnegans Wake through novel perspectives afforded by Joyce's preparatory manuscripts. By investigating a work through its manuscripts, genetic criticism both grounds speculative interpretations in an historical, material context and opens up a broader horizon for critical and textual interpretation.

The introduction by Luca Crispi, Sam Slote, and Dirk Van Hulle offers a chronology of the composition of Finnegans Wake, an archival survey of the manuscripts, and an introduction to genetic criticism. Then, the volume provides a chapter-by-chapter interpretation of Finnegans Wake from a variety of perspectives, probing the book as a work in progress. The fruit of more than two decades' worth of Wakean genetic studies, this book is the essential starting point for all future studies of Joyce's most complex and fascinating work.
