An Odyssey of the Mind: a Metaphor of the Reading Process As Reliving History Kiel Barry

A detailed study of how ironic maieusis, consubstantion, and circiminicession in chapters Nestor, Scylla and Charybdis, and Ithaca of Ulysses display the linear progression of the novel as a gradual evolution of specific epistemologies. While the usage of subtextual epistemologies become readily more apparent and metaphorical, they become presented as templates for the manner by which Joyce constructed his epic novel and how Joyce suggests this template is one by which the human intellect constructs knowledge and narrative.
