Princeton. 1971. Princeton University Press. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0691061998. Princeton Essays in European and Comparative Literature. 195 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literary Criticism Joyce Ireland Literature Flaubert France. FROM THE PUBLISHER-‘Of all the great nineteenth century masters of fiction, Joyce held Flaubert in highest esteem, ' wrote his colleague Frank Budgen in JAMES JOYCE AND THE MAKING OF ULYSSES. Reading every line of his work and committing whole pages to memory, Joyce shared with Flaubert an affinity of mind and art that places both of them within a common tradition. Richard Cross assesses the French writer's impact on his Irish counterpart through a comparison of tone, theme, and technique in their major writings. Juxtaposing passages from their novels, he reveals through close textual analysis certain structural and thematic patterns: the rendering of inner experience, the use of spatial form, the concern with factual accuracy and fascination with raw data, the themes of vocation, sympathy and judgment, and the epiphany. Since Flaubert and Joyce habitually referred to the writer and his art in sacerdotal metaphors, Professor Cross considers first some of the special problems facing the two novelists-the artist's isolation, the threats to his integrity, the agony of composition-in terms of a priestly vocation. Crucial tenets of their aesthetics, the doctrines of impersonality and autonomy in particular, he discusses as corollaries to their belief in art as a substitute for traditional faith. His concluding chapter seeks to define the limits of Joyce's sympathy with Flaubert. ‘. excellent analysis, thorough knowledge of both authors, sophisticated study of recurrent images and motifs, extremely sensitive readings. Mr. Cross has tackled two difficult writers, and he has done so with love. '-Victor Brombert. inventory #2269.
