Ulysses and the Poetics of Cognition Summary

Ulysses and the Poetics of Cognition by Patrick Colm Hogan

Given Ulysses perhaps unparalleled attention to the operations of the human mind, it is unsurprising that critics have explored the works psychology. Nonetheless, there has been very little research that draws on recent cognitive science to examine thought and emotion in this novel. Hogan sets out to expand our understanding of Ulysses, as well as our theoretical comprehension of narrativeand even our views of human cognition. He revises the main narratological accounts of the novel, clarifying the complex nature of narration and style. He extends his cognitive study to encompass the anti-colonial and gender concerns that are so obviously important to Joyces work. Finally, through a combination of broad overviews and detailed textual analyses, Hogan seeks to make this notoriously difficult book more accessible to non-specialists.
