823/.912 21 PR6019.O9 F5 1999 Preceded by (1922) Finnegans Wake is a work of avant-garde comic fiction. It is significant for its experimental style and reputation as one of the most difficult works of fiction in the English language. Written in Paris over a period of seventeen years and published in 1939, two years before the author's death, Finnegans Wake was Joyce's final work. The entire book is written in a largely, which blends standard English and and words to unique effect.
Many critics believe the technique was Joyce's attempt to recreate the experience of sleep and dreams. Owing to the work's expansive linguistic experiments, style, and abandonment of narrative conventions, Finnegans Wake remains largely unread by the general public. Despite the obstacles, readers and commentators have reached a broad consensus about the book's central cast of characters and, to a lesser degree, its plot, but key details remain elusive. The book discusses, in an unorthodox fashion, the Earwicker family, comprising the father HCE, the mother ALP, and their three children Shem the Penman, Shaun the Postman, and Issy. Following an unspecified rumour about HCE, the book, in a dream narrative, follows his wife's attempts to exonerate him with a letter, his sons' struggle to replace him, Shaun's rise to prominence, and a final monologue by ALP at the break of dawn.
The opening line of the book is a sentence fragment which continues from the book's unfinished closing line,. Many noted Joycean scholars such as and Donald Phillip Verene link this cyclical structure to 's seminal text ('The New Science'), upon which they argue Finnegans Wake is structured. Joyce began working on Finnegans Wake shortly after the 1922 publication of. By 1924 installments of Joyce's new work began to appear, in serialized form, in Parisian literary journals and, under the title 'fragments from Work in Progress'. The actual title of the work remained a secret until the book was published in its entirety, on 4 May 1939. Initial reaction to Finnegans Wake, both in its serialized and final published form, was largely negative, ranging from bafflement at its radical reworking of the English language to open hostility towards its lack of respect for the conventions of the work. The work has since come to assume a preeminent place in, despite its numerous detractors.

Has lauded Finnegans Wake as 'a great comic vision, one of the few books of the world that can make us laugh aloud on nearly every page.' The prominent literary academic has called it Joyce's, and wrote that 'if aesthetic merit were ever again to center the canon Finnegans Wake would be as close as our chaos could come to the heights of and.' The now commonplace term '– a – originates from Finnegans Wake. A drawing of Joyce (with eyepatch) by from 1922, the year in which Joyce began the 17-year task of writing Finnegans Wake Having completed work on Ulysses, Joyce was so exhausted that he did not write a line of prose for a year. On 10 March 1923 he wrote a letter to his patron,: 'Yesterday I wrote two pages—the first I have since the final Yes of Ulysses. Having found a pen, with some difficulty I copied them out in a large handwriting on a double sheet of so that I could read them.'
This is the earliest reference to what would become Finnegans Wake. The two pages in question consisted of the short sketch ', concerning the historic last cleaning up after guests by drinking the dregs of their dirty glasses. Joyce completed another four short sketches in July and August 1923, while holidaying in. The sketches, which dealt with different aspects of Irish history, are commonly known as ', ' and the Druid,' 's Orisons' and 'Mamalujo'. While these sketches would eventually be incorporated into Finnegans Wake in one form or another, they did not contain any of the main characters or plot points which would later come to constitute the backbone of the book.
The first signs of what would eventually become Finnegans Wake came in August 1923 when Joyce wrote the sketch 'Here Comes Everybody', which dealt for the first time with the book's protagonist HCE. Over the next few years, Joyce's method became one of 'increasingly obsessional concern with note-taking, since he obviously felt that any word he wrote had first to have been recorded in some notebook.'
As Joyce continued to incorporate these notes into his work, the text became increasingly dense and obscure. By 1926 Joyce had largely completed both Parts I and III.
Geert Lernout asserts that Part I had, at this early stage, 'a real focus that had developed out of the HCE 'Here Comes Everybody' sketch: the story of HCE, of his wife and children. There were the adventures of Humphrey Chimpden Earwicker himself and the rumours about them in chapters 2–4, a description of his wife ALP's letter in chapter 5, a denunciation of his son Shem in chapter 7, and a dialogue about ALP in chapter 8. These texts.
formed a unity.' In the same year Joyce met and in Paris, just as his new work was generating an increasingly negative reaction from readers and critics, culminating in 's refusal to publish the four chapters of Part III in September 1926.
The Jolases gave Joyce valuable encouragement and material support throughout the long process of writing Finnegans Wake, and published sections of the book in serial form in their literary magazine, under the title Work In Progress. For the next few years Joyce worked rapidly on the book, adding what would become chapters I.1 and I.6, and revising the already written segments to make them more lexically complex. By this time some early supporters of Joyce's work, such as and the author's brother, had grown increasingly unsympathetic to his new writing. In order to create a more favourable critical climate, a group of Joyce's supporters (including, and others) put together a collection of critical essays on the new work. It was published in 1929 under the title.
In July 1929, increasingly demoralised by the poor reception his new work was receiving, Joyce approached his friend about the possibility of his completing the book. Joyce wrote to Weaver in late 1929 that he had 'explained to Stephens all about the book, at least a great deal, and he promised me that if I found it madness to continue, in my condition, and saw no other way out, that he would devote himself heart and soul to the completion of it, that is the second part and the epilogue or fourth.' Apparently Joyce chose Stephens on superstitious grounds, as he had been born in the same hospital as Joyce, exactly one week later, and shared both the first names of Joyce himself and his fictional alter-ego.
In the end, Stephens was not asked to finish the book. In the 1930s, as he was writing Parts II and IV, Joyce's progress slowed considerably. This was due to a number of factors including the death of his father in 1931; concern over the mental health of his daughter; and his own health problems, chiefly his failing eyesight. Finnegans Wake was published in book form, after seventeen years of composition, on 4 May 1939. Joyce died two years later in, on 13 January 1941.
Chapter summaries Finnegans Wake comprises seventeen chapters, divided into four Parts or Books. Part I contains eight chapters, Parts II and III each contain four, and Part IV consists of only one short chapter. The chapters appear without titles, and while Joyce never provided possible chapter titles as he had done for Ulysses, he did title various sections published separately (see Publication history below). The standard critical practice is to indicate part number in Roman numerals, and chapter title in Arabic, so that III.2, for example, indicates the second chapter of the third part.
Given the book's fluid and changeable approach to plot and characters, a definitive, critically agreed-upon plot synopsis remains elusive (see Critical response and themes: Difficulties of plot summary below). Therefore, the following synopsis attempts to summarise events in the book which find general, although inevitably not universal, consensus among critics. 'In the first chapter of Finnegans Wake Joyce describes the fall of the primordial giant Finnegan and his awakening as the modern family man and pub owner H.C.E.' – Donald Phillip Verene's summary and interpretation of the Wake's episodic opening chapter ' The entire work forms a cycle: the last sentence—a fragment—recirculates to the beginning sentence: 'a way a lone a last a loved a long the / riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.'
Joyce himself revealed that the book 'ends in the middle of a sentence and begins in the middle of the same sentence.' The introductory chapter (I.1) establishes the book's setting as ' and Environs' (i.e.
The area), and introduces Dublin ', who falls to his death from a ladder while constructing a wall. Finnegan's wife Annie puts out his corpse as a meal spread for the mourners at his, but he vanishes before they can eat him. A series of episodic follows, loosely related to the dead Finnegan, most commonly referred to as 'The Willingdone Museyroom', 'Mutt and Jute', and 'The Prankquean'.
At the chapter's close a fight breaks out, whiskey splashes on Finnegan's corpse, and 'the dead Finnegan rises from his coffin bawling for whiskey and his mourners put him back to rest”, persuading him that he is better off where he is. The chapter ends with the image of the HCE character sailing into to take a central role in the story.
Representing, a character in Finnegans Wake I.2 opens with an account of 'Harold or Humphrey' Chimpden receiving the 'Earwicker' from the Sailor King, who encounters him attempting to catch with an inverted flowerpot on a stick while manning a through which the King is passing. This name helps Chimpden, now known by his initials HCE, to rise to prominence in Dublin society as 'Here Comes Everybody'. He is then brought low by a rumour that begins to spread across Dublin, apparently concerning a sexual trespass involving two girls in the, although details of HCE's transgression change with each retelling of events. Chapters I.2 through I.4 follow the progress of this rumour, starting with HCE's encounter with 'a cad with a pipe' in. The cad greets HCE in Gaelic and asks the time, but HCE misunderstands the question as an accusation, and incriminates himself by denying rumours the cad has not yet heard.
These rumours quickly spread across Dublin, gathering momentum until they are turned into a song penned by the character Hosty called '. As a result, HCE goes into hiding, where he is besieged at the closed gate of his pub by a visiting American looking for drink after hours. HCE remains silent – not responding to the accusations or verbal abuse – dreams, is buried in a coffin at the bottom of, and is finally brought to trial, under the name Festy King.
He is eventually freed, and goes once more into hiding. An important piece of evidence during the trial – a letter about HCE written by his wife ALP – is called for so that it can be examined in closer detail.
ALP's Letter becomes the focal point as it is analysed in detail in I.5. This letter was dictated by ALP to her son Shem, a writer, and entrusted to her other son Shaun, a postman, for delivery. The letter never reaches its intended destination, ending up in a where it is unearthed by a hen named Biddy. Chapter I.6 digresses from the narrative in order to present the main and minor characters in more detail, in the form of twelve riddles and answers. In the final two chapters of Part I we learn more about the letter's writer Shem the Penman (I.7) and its original author, his mother ALP (I.8). The Shem chapter consists of 'Shaun's character assassination of his brother Shem', describing the hermetic artist as a forger and a 'sham', before 'Shem is protected by his mother ALP, who appears at the end to come and defend her son.' The following chapter concerning Shem's mother, known as 'Anna Livia Plurabelle', is interwoven with thousands of river names from all over the globe, and is widely considered the book's most celebrated passage.
The chapter was described by Joyce in 1924 as 'a chattering dialogue across the river by two washerwomen who as night falls become a tree and a stone.' These two washerwomen gossip about ALP's response to the allegations laid against her husband HCE, as they wash clothes in the Liffey. ALP is said to have written a letter declaring herself tired of her mate. Their gossip then digresses to her youthful affairs and sexual encounters, before returning to the publication of HCE's guilt in the morning newspaper, and his wife's revenge on his enemies: borrowing a 'mailsack' from her son Shaun the Post, she delivers presents to her 111 children. At the chapter's close the washerwomen try to pick up the thread of the story, but their conversation is increasingly difficult as they are on opposite sides of the widening Liffey, and it is getting dark. Finally, as they turn into a tree and a stone, they ask to be told a Tale of Shem or Shaun. Part II While Part I of Finnegans Wake deals mostly with the parents HCE and ALP, Part II shifts that focus onto their children, Shem, Shaun and Issy.
II.1 opens with a pantomime programme, which outlines, in relatively clear language, the identities and attributes of the book's main characters. The chapter then concerns a guessing game among the children, in which Shem is challenged three times to guess by 'gazework' the colour which the girls have chosen. Unable to answer due to his poor eyesight, Shem goes into exile in disgrace, and Shaun wins the affection of the girls. Finally HCE emerges from the pub and in a thunder-like voice calls the children inside. Chapter II.2 follows Shem, Shaun and Issy studying upstairs in the pub, after having been called inside in the previous chapter. The chapter depicts 'Shem coaching Shaun how to do Bk I, 1', structured as 'a reproduction of a schoolboys' (and schoolgirls') old classbook complete with by the twins, who change sides at half time, and footnotes by the girl (who doesn't)'. Once Shem (here called Dolph) has helped Shaun (here called Kev) to draw the, the latter realises that he has drawn a diagram of ALP's genitalia, and 'Kev finally realises the significance of the triangles.and.
strikes Dolph.' After this 'Dolph forgives Kev' and the children are given 'essay assignments on 52 famous men.' The chapter ends with the children's 'nightletter' to HCE and ALP, in which they are 'apparently united in a desire to overcome their parents.' ' Section 1: a radio broadcast of the tale of Pukkelsen (a hunchbacked Norwegian Captain), Kersse (a tailor) and McCann (a ship's husband) in which the story is told inter alia of how HCE met and married ALP. Sections 2–3: an interruption in which Kate (the cleaning woman) tells HCE that he is wanted upstairs, the door is closed and the tale of Buckley is introduced.
Sections 4–5: the tale, recounted by Butt and Taff (Shem and Shaun) and beamed over the television, of how Buckley shot the Russian General (HCE) – Danis Rose's overview of the extremely complex chapter 2.3, which he believes takes place in the bar of Earwicker's hotel ' II.3 moves to HCE working in the pub below the studying children. As HCE serves his customers, two narratives are broadcast via the bar's radio and television sets, namely 'The Norwegian Captain and the Tailor's Daughter', and 'How Buckley Shot the Russian General'.
The first portrays HCE as a Norwegian Captain succumbing to domestication through his marriage to the Tailor's Daughter. The latter, told by Shem and Shaun ciphers Butt and Taff, casts HCE as a Russian General who is shot by the soldier Buckley. Earwicker has been absent throughout the latter tale, having been summoned upstairs by ALP.
He returns and is reviled by his customers, who see Buckley's shooting of the General as symbolic of Shem and Shaun's supplanting their father. This condemnation of his character forces HCE to deliver a general confession of his crimes, including an incestuous desire for young girls. Finally a policeman arrives to send the drunken customers home, the pub is closed up, and the customers disappear singing into the night as a drunken HCE, clearing up the bar and swallowing the dregs of the glasses left behind, morphs into ancient Irish high king Rory O'Connor, and passes out.

II.4, ostensibly portraying the drunken and sleeping Earwicker's dream, chronicles the spying of four old men (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) on 's journey. The short chapter portrays 'an old man like being rejected and abandoned by young lovers who sail off into a future without him', while the four old men observe Tristan and Isolde, and offer four intertwining commentaries on the lovers and themselves which are 'always repeating themselves'. Part III Part III concerns itself almost exclusively with Shaun, in his role as postman, having to deliver ALP's letter, which was referred to in Part I, but never seen. III.1 opens with the Four Masters' ass narrating how he thought, as he was 'dropping asleep', he had heard and seen an apparition of Shaun the Post. As a result, Shaun re-awakens, and, floating down the Liffey in a barrel, is posed fourteen questions concerning the significance and content of the letter he is carrying. Shaun, 'apprehensive about being slighted, is on his guard, and the placating narrators never get a straight answer out of him.'
Shaun's answers focus on his own boastful personality and his admonishment of the letter's author – his artist brother Shem. After the inquisition Shaun loses his balance and the barrel in which he has been floating careens over and he rolls backwards out of the narrator's earshot, before disappearing completely from view. In III.2 Shaun re-appears as 'Jaunty Jaun' and delivers a lengthy and sexually suggestive sermon to his sister Issy, and her twenty-eight schoolmates from St.
Brigid's School. Throughout this book Shaun is continually regressing, changing from an old man to an overgrown baby lying on his back, and eventually, in III.3, into a vessel through which the voice of HCE speaks again by means of a spiritual. This leads to HCE's defence of his life in the passage 'Haveth Childers Everywhere'. Part III ends in the bedroom of Mr. Porter as they attempt to copulate while their children, Jerry, Kevin and Isobel Porter, are sleeping upstairs and the dawn is rising outside (III.4). Jerry awakes from a nightmare of a scary father figure, and Mrs. Porter interrupts the coitus to go comfort him with the words 'You were dreamend, dear.
The fawthrig? Hear are no phanthares in the room at all, avikkeen.
No bad bold faathern, dear one.' She returns to bed, and the rooster crows at the conclusion of their coitus at the Part's culmination. This article's use of may not follow Wikipedia's policies or guidelines.
