4.9/5 (18989 ratings)

Description:A forgotten historical figure and hisinfluence on the writing of James Joyce Inthis book, Neil Davison argues that Albert Altman (1853‒1903), aDublin-based businessman and Irish nationalist, influenced James Joyce'screation of the character of Leopold Bloom as well as Ulysses' broader themes surrounding race, nationalism, and empire.Using extensive archival research, Davison reveals parallels between the livesof Altman and Bloom, including how the experience of doublemarginalization--which Altman felt as both a Jew in Ireland and an Irishman inthe British Empire--is a major idea explored in Joyce's work.Altman, a successful salt and coal merchant, was involved in municipal politics overissues of Home Rule and labor, and frequently appeared in the press over thetwo decades of Joyce's youth. His prominence, Davison shows, made him afamiliar name in the Home Rule circles with which Joyce and his father mostidentified. The book concludes by tracing the influence of Altman's career onthe Dubliners story "Ivy Day in theCommittee Room" as well as throughout the whole of Ulysses. Through Altman's biography, Davison recovers aforgotten life story that illuminates Irish and Jewish identity and culture inJoyce's Dublin.
