In Transcultural Joyce, a team of leading international scholars assess the afterlife of James Joyce and his writings within a multi-national context. How does Joyce haunt the works of later writers in diverse literary traditions? As a canonical modernist and colonial subject, Joyce inhabits a borderline position that complicates his reception and revision by later writers. This book accounts for his cultural place as specifically Irish and more postcolonial than previous studies have acknowledged. It also addresses the formidable task of translating his work for a global audience.
