Joyce, Aristotle, and Aquinas
"Aristotle and Aquinas are ubiquitous ghostly presences in Joyce’s work.

Dissensuous Modernism
“DeMaagd’s timely study examines the changing sensescape in modernist aesthetics and gives the long-denigrated ‘lower’ senses of smell, taste, and touch their interpretive due, not only uncovering the gendering of sensory experience, but also demonstrating the extent to which sensory practices crucially involve questions of class, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, and species.”—Vicki Tromanhauser, SUNY New Paltz … Continue reading Dissensuous Modernism

Lounsberry is particularly skillful in combining … Continue reading Virginia Woolf’s Modernist Path
