IRISH COSMOPOLITANISMLocation and Dislocation in James Joyce, Elizabeth Bowen, and Samuel BeckettNels Pearson2014 192pp, 4 b&w photos9780813060521 Hardback £79.50 / €93.00

“Goes beyond ‘statism’ and postnationalism toward a cosmopolitics of Irish transnationalism in which national belonging and national identity are permanently in transition.” - Gregory Castle, author of The Literary Theory HandbookLooking at the writing of three Irish expatriates who lived in Trieste, London, and Paris, Nels Pearson challenges conventional critical trends that view their work as either affirming Irish anticolonial sentiment or embracing international identity. In reality, he argues, these writers work constantly back and forth between a sense of national belonging that remains incomplete and ideas of human universality tied to their new global environments.University Press of Florida

BEFORE DAYBREAKAfter the Race and the Origins of Joyce’s ArtCóilín Owens2015 352pp, 12 b&w illustrations9780813060941 Paperback £29.95 / €35.009780813042473 Hardback £79.50 /€93.00The Florida James Joyce Series

Joyce’s After the Race is a seemingly simple tale, historically unloved by critics. Yet when magnified and dismantled, the story yields astounding political, philosophic, and moral intricacy. In Before Daybreak, Cóilín Owens shows that After the Race is much more than a story about Dublin at the time of the 1903 Gordon Bennett Cup Race: in reality, it is a microcosm of some of the issues most central to Joycean scholarship.University Press of Florida

Irish Studies SeriesIn Irish fiction, the most famous example of the embrace of damnation in order to gain freedom is Joyce’s Stephen Dedalus. His “non serviam,” though, is not just the profound rebellion of one frustrated young man, but, as Brivic demonstrates in this sweeping account of twentieth-century Irish fiction, the emblematic and necessary standpoint for any artist wishing to envision something truly new.Syracuse University Press
