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".

5.0 out of 5 stars
Exceptional counter-argument to all dialectic-based agendas,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sound of "Finnegans Wake" (Hardcover)
A fine exploration and description of the perceptions and experience of reading the Wake aloud as a mimetic act which transforms the reader's sensibilities.
