Joyce's book of memory : the mnemotechnics of Ulysses
Demonstrates how Joyce's body of work - Ulysses in particular - operates as a "mnemotechnic," a technique for preserving and remembering the personal, social, and cultural pasts. This title notes the power of spontaneous, involuntary recollection by locating Joyce's mnemotechnic within its historical and philosophical contexts.
