Josip Batini\u0107, who works at the Antwerp Centre for Digital Criticism, curated a complete digital corpus of Joyce\u2019s letters. He used it to research the latent trends and patterns in Joyce&#8217;s communication with his correspondents. \u201cThere is much more of interest in Joyce\u2019s correspondence than just his erotic letters to his wife, Nora,\u201d says Batini\u0107. <\/strong><em>(Text: Josip Batini\u0107<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Telling handwriting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Joyce\u2019s handwriting in his letters, for instance, is more telling than it first appears. \u201cThe neat handwriting of his youth is replaced by a flow of tumultuous and stylised strokes in his later life,\u201d says Batini\u0107. This change in Joyce\u2019s handwriting over time aligns with the moving away from the naturalist prose characteristic of his early writings, and the embracing of his mature experimentation with style and form, culminating in <em>Ulysses<\/em> and in <em>Finnegans Wake<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changing roles in life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Joyce\u2019s 43-year long letter-writing documents Joyce\u2019s struggles to write and publish many of his works, his bad eye health, his financial issues, and his daughter Lucia\u2019s worsening mental illness among others. \u201cWhile the correspondence from the first part of his life is mainly on the topic of his own literary works, the latter part of his life is characterised by letters written to and about his family,\u201d highlighting Joyce\u2019s role as a father and a husband, which only truly comes through in the letters, Batini\u0107 notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Josip Batini\u0107 | <a href=\"mailto:josip.batinic@uantwerpen.be\">josip.batinic@uantwerpen.be<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Josip Batini\u0107 gathered and analysed James Joyce\u2019s correspondence using digital methods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":3130,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[108,271,332,163],"coauthors":[58],"class_list":["post-3125","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-taal-letterkunde","tag-doctoraatsonderzoek","tag-james-joyce","tag-josip-batinic","tag-letterkunde"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
