A Skeleton Key To Finnegans Wake Joseph Campbell Henry Morton Robinson by Joseph Campbell, Henry Morton Robinson 9781577314059, 1577314050 instant download after payment.

Since its publication in 1939, countless would-be readers of Finnegan's Wake — James Joyce's masterwork that consumed a third of his life — have given up after a few pages and dismissed it as a "perverse triumph of the unintelligible." 

In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first "key" or guide to entering the fascinating, disturbing, marvelously rich world of Finnegan's Wake. 

The authors break down Joyce's "unintelligible" book page by page, stripping the text of much of its obscurity and serving up thoughtful interpretations via footnotes and bracketed commentary. 

A Skeleton Key was Campbell's first book, published five years before he wrote his breakthrough Hero with a Thousand Faces.

The work gives both a general critical overview of Finnegan's Wake and a detailed exegetical outline of the text. According to Campbell and Robinson, Finnegan's Wake is best interpreted in light of Giambattista Vico's philosophy, which holds that history proceeds in cycles and fails to achieve meaningful progress over time.
