Joyce knew otherwise, as Peter Kuch reveals—obtaining a decree absolute in Edwardian Ireland, rather than separation from bed and board, was possible. Bloom’s “Divorce, not now” and Molly’s “suppose I divorced him”—whether whim, wish, fantasy, or conviction—reflects an Irish practice of petitioning the English court, a ruse that, even though it was known to lawyers, judges, and politicians at the time, has long been forgotten. By drawing attention to divorce as one response to adultery, Joyce created a domestic and legal space in which to interrogate the sometimes rival and sometimes collusive Imperial and Ecclesiastical hegemonies that sought to control the Irish mind. This compelling, original book provides a refreshingly new frame for enjoying .Ulysses .even as it prompts thegeneral reader to think about relationships and about the politics of concealment that operate in forging national identity. | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | Ulysses; Molly Bloom; Leopold Bloom; Catholicism; James Joyce; Irish law; Divorce; British and Irish Litera | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/978-1-137-57186-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-95755-2 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-57186-1 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature America, |
