- The result of sustained research over a period of six years, Nonlinear Temporality in Joyce and Walcott is the first dedicated comparative study of James Joyce and Derek Walcott. The book’s entirely original argument is that Joyce and Walcott share a nonlinear conception of time which ramifies throughout their work. Placing Irish and Caribbean literature into a highly innovative dialogue, it goes on to demonstrate how an enhanced appreciation of the role of nonlinear temporality in Joyce and Walcott can help to illuminate numerous other aspects of their work, including their treatments of history, colonialism, language, aesthetics, and the divine.
