Abstract
This thesis investigates the question of history in James Joyce’s literary enterprise and looks further into his construction of an alternative history in Ulysses. Regarding history as a nightmare, Joyce attempts to negate accepted history and any authority that intends to repress people. In the first chapter, I try to elucidate Joyce’s attitude toward history and the role it plays in his life and career. By bringing to light the protean nature of history and the inseparability of history and narrative, I argue that in Ulysses Joyce pits himself against orthodox history, endeavors to create an anti-heroic version of history, and intends to provide a new vision for his country. In chapter two, I examine the entwinement of interpretation, representation, ideology, and history. At the same time I analyze Joyce’s (mis-)representations of past events and dig up his underlying agenda. Finally, I discuss Joyce’s responses to Irish Revivalism and nationalism, whose primary appeal is the recovery of the past glory of ancient Ireland. I assert that Joyce’s construction of an alternative history in Ulysses serves as a subversive power to challenge and undermine the parochial Irish nationalist project. Although Joyce’s alternative history is merely one of the many possible versions, the new vision he contributes to his country may well be a giant step to its spiritual liberation.
