| Research Abstract |
The objective of this project is to build a set of databases that store the basic ur-textual materials for James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, i.e. the Buffalo Notebooks and the British Library's additional manuscripts.
The project reflects the silent but steady growth of "genetic studies" or "genetic criticism" in recent years whose hard-fact orientated approaches are duly recognized as unprecedentedly productive among the Joycean circles today, but whose extraordinary task of closely reading and analysing the enormous amount of genetic data has always intimidated rather than invited most scholars/students.
Eventually the period of three years granted for this project proved far from sufficient to build up the objective databases to perfection, but it saw a number of significant developments both in terms of data and human resources. The latter especially owes much to the recent flourish of the Internet services, e.g. the mailing list, as well as to the chance offered by the Antwerp James Joyce Centre to introduce this project to the international geneticists' circles.
