Double-weighted statement
Joyce, Medicine and Modernity is the first book-length study that engages with James Joyce’s life-long interest in the sciences of the body. Drawing on substantial archival research and using sources such as medical handbooks and journals in English, French and German, it recovers a neglected contingent in the study of James Joyce and literary modernism. It evidences the complexity of Joyce’s literary response to current medical and scientific debates and shows that the paradigmatic boundaries between the sciences and the humanities were far from clearly established at the beginning of the twentieth century.
