Synopsis
In this book - one of the first ecocritical explorations of Irish literature - Alison Lacivita defies the popular view of James Joyce as a thoroughly urban writer by bringing to light his consistent engagement with nature. Using genetic criticism to investigate Joyce’s source texts, notebooks, and proofs, Lacivita shows how Joyce developed ecological themes in Finnegans Wake over successive drafts.
Making apparent a love of growing things and a lively connection with the natural world across his texts, Lacivita’s approach reveals Joyce’s keen attention to the Irish landscape, meteorology, urban planning, Dublin’s ecology, the exploitation of nature, and fertilityand reproduction. Lacivita unearths a vital quality of Joyce’s work that has largely gone undetected, decisively aligning ecocriticism with both modernism and Irish studies.

Review
The range of topics addressed in"The Ecology of Finnegans Wake"is expansive: polar exploration, meteorology, climatology, urban and suburban planning, water management, conservation biology. Lacivita takes great care to locate these discourses within the cultural and intellectual history of the time among the many advantages of her genetic approach is its insistence on rigorous historicism but it is no accident that so many of these topics are of crucial relevance today .It is not only among the strongest monographs of Joyce scholarship in recent memory, but it is also one of the most innovative works of contemporary ecocriticism.
