Barlow also offers an innovative look at the strong influences that Joyce's predecessors had on his work, including James Macpherson, James Hogg, David Hume, Robert Burns, and Robert Louis Stevenson. The book draws upon all of Joyce's major texts but focuses mainly on \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e in making three main, interrelated arguments: that Joyce applies what he sees as a specifically \"Celtic\" viewpoint to create the atmosphere of instability and skepticism of \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e; that this reasoning is divided into contrasting elements, which reflect the deep religious and national divide of post-1922 Ireland, but which have their basis in Scottish literature; and finally, that despite the illustration of the contrasts and divisions of Scottish and Irish history, Scottish literature and philosophy are commissioned by Joyce as part of a program of artistic \"decolonization\" which is enacted in \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThe Celtic Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book-length study of the role of Scottish literature in Joyce's work and is a vital contribution to the fields of Irish and Scottish studies. This book will appeal to scholars and students of Joyce, and to students interested in Irish studies, Scottish studies, and English literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard Barlow is an assistant professor of English at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 30, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248512786739,"sku":"9780268101015","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/kS04msm4EQ9780268101015.webp?v=1776311728","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-celtic-unconscious-joyce-and-scottish-culture-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
