Joyce read widely and to do so he drew on a widespread network of carriers and readers, often family members and often women. For her doctoral research, Emily Bell (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uantwerpen.be\/en\/research-groups\/digitalhumanities\/\">ACDC<\/a>) reconstructed Joyce\u2019s library and investigated how he obtained these books in the first place.<\/strong> <em>(text: Emily Bell)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It comes as no surprise that Joyce had lots of different literary inspirations. Many of these have been talked about since the landmark publication of his novel, <em>Ulysses<\/em>, in 1922. What is more surprising, however, is understanding how some of these inspirations came across his desk. \u201cJoyce often relied on women, especially those in his family, to ferry reading materials to him or to read to him,\u201d says Emily Bell. \u201cSometimes he employed women professionally as scribes. Other notable figures such as Sylvia Beach are well known for their importance in bringing about the difficult publication of <em>Ulysses<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The work of many hands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Joyce\u2019s bad eye health often meant tasks of reading and writing had to be delegated. Emily Bell notes, \u201cThere are manuscripts in his wife Nora\u2019s hand and evidence that some of his reading notes were read to him by his daughter, Lucia. It seems that he preferred to assign secretarial tasks to Nora, Lucia, his aunt or daughter-in-law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the old saying goes, &#8220;Behind every great man is a great woman.&#8221; While women would prefer not to figuratively stand behind a man, those that did \u2013 like Nora and Lucia \u2013 are now receiving their due attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily Bell | <a href=\"mailto:emily.bell@uantwerpen.be\">emily.bell@uantwerpen.be<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emily Bell reconstructed James Joyce\u2019s library and revealed how women helped him along the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":2611,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[51,49],"tags":[108,270,271,163],"coauthors":[58],"class_list":["post-2610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-english","category-taal-letterkunde","tag-doctoraatsonderzoek","tag-emily-bell","tag-james-joyce","tag-letterkunde"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
