ABSTRACT
Anna Livia Plurabelle is concerned with the flowing of a River. There have gone into it the things that make a people’s inheritance: landscape, myth, and history; there have gone into it, too, what is characteristic of a people: jests and fables. It is epical in its largeness of meaning and its multiplicity of interest. And, to my mind, James Joyce’s inventions and discoveries as an innovator in literary form are more beautifully shown in it than in any other part of his work.
