Drawing on draft manuscripts and other archival material,
James Joyce and Absolute Music
, explores Joyce's deep engagement with musical structure, and his participation in the growing modernist discourse surrounding 19th-century musical forms. Michelle Witen examines Joyce's claim of having structured the "Sirens+? episode of his masterpiece,
Ulysses
, as a
fuga per canonem
, and his changing musical project from his early works, such as
Dubliners
and
A
Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
. Informed by a deep understanding of music theory and history, the book goes on to consider the "pure music+? of Joyce's final work,
Finnegans Wake
. Demonstrating the importance of music to Joyce, this ground-breaking study reveals new depths to this enduring body of work.
