A Reader's Guide to Finnegans Wake by William York Tindall
For years, William York Tindall's Guide has been one of the valuable ways to approach the difficult writing and complex language of Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Over a period of 40 years, Tindall studied, instructed and, most importantly, learned from graduate students about Joyce's greatest literary masterpiece. He explores and analyses Joyce's unexpected depths and vast collection of puns, allusions and word plays involving over a dozen languages. Tindall's Guide not only updates past guides to Finnegans Wake, but also breaks down the formidable barriers that could discourage readers from enjoying the humour and brilliance of Joyce.This book remains an eminently lucid and systematic exposition of the essential structure of one of the most complex and influential prose works of the centuryIt belongs in every library that has Finnegans Wake.
William York Tindall was professor of English at Columbia University and the author of numerous works on Joyce and British literature, including the Reader's Guide to James Joyce, also published by Syracuse University Press.
