Esthetics of Dedalus and Bloom: nineteenth century roots, structural metaphors, and resolutions
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>This study explores James Joyce's use of esthetics as a structuring source in <em>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</em>, especially as those esthetics derive from similarities and references to and analogues from the nineteenth century tradition of English poets, novelists, and essayists which includes Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Morris, Algernon Swinburne, Walter Horatio Pater, Oscar Wilde and William Butler Yeats. Stephen Dedalus and his esthetics, particularly as they appear in <em>Portrait</em>, are inheritors of that tradition. Further, the study will trace through <em>Ulysses</em> the evolution of the esthetic and its counter-traditions in the esthetics represented by Bloom and Molly.</p>
