Section:

No. 5/6 (2000/2001)  Editorial

Abstract:

The paper deals with Joyce's poetics of epiphany as vehicle to the tenor of the writer's historical consciousness aspiring at freedom from 'the terror of history', and actuated by the writer's ironic (parodic) imagination and communication in Dubliners, which is read at once as a unified corpus and as a collection of short stories.
