How to order this book
François
Rabelais and James Joyce are generally considered major innovators of
literary language. When comparative studies have been made the emphasis
has been mainly upon incident rather than upon language. This study
does not attempt to prove the influence of Rabelais upon Joyce.
Instead, using primarily a semiotic-linguistic method, it examines the
analogous manner in which these writers use language in their two
masterworks. Principal attention in this analysis is devoted to the
manner in which language is manipulated, mutated and invented within
the framework of tradition. In addition, it is concerned with how this
type of verbal experimentation expresses an attitude toward the word
that is unique to these two craftsmen.
