Reviewing Ireland: Essays and Interviews from 'Irish Studies Review', ed. Briggs, Sammells, Hyland (Bath: Sulis Press), 1998

Explains arguments but questions whether the aesthetic of 'Finnegans Wake' means that Joyce can 'answer' Lewis in the way that is presupposed by the exegetes who assume he must be right. Denies that his text has any real purchase on history. (A very old paper.)

Relativity of Consciousness in the Aesthetics of Wyndham Lewi and Virginia Woolf

Neither Woolf nor Lewis is as exclusively committed to their official allegiances (to Bergsonian transcendence of common-sense and embrace of the symbolic order respectively) as they seem.

After the Revolution in 1688 he could no longer make use of an authoritative discourse (such as epic) to assert this. Indeed, he could no longer be confident that any such redemptive order would be manifest in nature or history. The chapter briefly discusses Amphytrion but concentrates on The Fables (1700). Topics include cyclical history and other forms of repetition.
