 | | Samuel Beckett (Reaktion Books - Critical Lives) by Andrew Gibson Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 2009 by Reaktion Books ISBN-13: 978-1-86189-517-2, ISBN: 1-86189-517-8 "'Fuck life', cries the woman at the end of Beckett's play Rockaby; 'Oh all to end' concludes his last work of fiction "Stirrings Still". Samuel Beckett (1906-1989) presented a world of abject misery, failure, and the absurd in his theater pieces, novels, stories and poetry. Yet the despair in his work is never absolute, leavened as it is with bleak humor and an indomitable will to survive; this is perhaps best embodied by his most famou ..." |
 | | Joyce's Revenge History, Politics, and Aesthetics in Ulysses by Andrew Gibson Paperback, 318 Pages, Published 2005 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-928203-6, ISBN: 0-19-928203-X "The Ireland of Ulysses was still a part of Britain. This book is the first comprehensive, historical study of Joyce's great novel in the context of Anglo-Irish political and cultural relations in the period 1880-1920. The first forty years of Joyce's life also witnessed the emergence of what historians now call English cultural nationalism. This formation was perceptible in a wide range of different discourses. Ulysses engages with many ..." |

 | | Misanthropy The Critique of Humanity by Andrew Gibson, University Of London Paperback, 290 Pages, Published 2017 by Bloomsbury Academic ISBN-13: 978-1-4742-9317-4, ISBN: 1-4742-9317-4 "This book is the first major study of the theme of misanthropy, its history, arguments both for and against it, and its significance for us today. Misanthropy is not strictly a philosophy. It is an inconsistent thought, and so has often been mocked. But from Timon of Athens to Motorhead it has had a very long life, vast historical purchase and is seemingly indomitable and unignorable. Human beings have always nursed a profound distrust ..." |
 | | Beckett and Badiou(1st Edition) The Pathos of Intermittency by Andrew Gibson Hardcover, 336 Pages, Published 2007 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-920775-6, ISBN: 0-19-920775-5 "Beckett and Badiou offers a provocative new reading of Samuel Beckett's work on the basis of a full, critical account of the thought of Alain Badiou. Badiou is the most eminent of contemporary French philosophers. His devotion to Beckett's work has been lifelong. Yet for Badiou philosophy must be integrally affirmative, whilst Beckett apparently commits his art to a work of negation. Beckett and Badiou explores the coherences, contradic ..." |
 | | James Joyce (Reaktion Books - Critical Lives) by Andrew Gibson, Declan Kiberd Paperback, 192 Pages, Published 2006 by Reaktion Books ISBN-13: 978-1-86189-277-5, ISBN: 1-86189-277-2 "In this new work, Andrew Gibson sets out to reverse the traditional view of Joyce and his work as the paradigm of international modernism in literature. Where criticism has usually consigned Ireland to secondary status in Joyce's work, Gibson firmly relocates the writer and his work in Ireland, showing them at all points to be intricately bound up in Irish history, politics and culture. Crucially, he views Joyce's departure for Europe a ..." |
 | | The Strong Spirit(1st Edition) History, Politics and Aesthetics in the Writings of James Joyce 1898-1915 by Andrew Gibson Hardcover, 288 Pages, Published 2013 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-964250-2, ISBN: 0-19-964250-8 "Scholarly accounts of Joyce's early work have traditionally resorted to two historical keys to try to unlock it: a concept of the Dublin and Ireland in which he grew to adulthood as stagnant and backward, and an emphasis on 1904, the year of the supposedly crucial break in which Joyce quit Ireland for continental Europe and could begin his great modernist literary project. But modernist or no, Joyce's works are always about Ireland, and ..." |
