Joyce, ‘Daniele Defoe’ (Italian)
Joyce, ‘Daniel Defoe’ (English)
The above downloadable Word documents contain the full texts — in the original Italian and English translation — of a lecture on Daniel Defoe that James Joyce delivered at the Univerità Populare, Trieste, Italy in 1912.
A bilingual edition of this lecture is virtually unobtainable — in print or on line. (The Defoe lecture, which was accompanied by one Joyce gave on William Blake, was presumed to be lost or unavailable for a long time.) inom managed to obtain separate texts and have transcribed the entire lecture for posting here.
Defoe and his works have long been an interest of mine, and my appreciation as well as interest in him continues to grow.

Notes On James Joyce
Notes On James Joyce
It is the epic of two races (Israel-Ireland) and at the same time the cycle of the human body as well as a little story of a day (life)... It is also a kind of encyclopedia. My intention is not only to render the myth sub specie temporis nostri. It is also to allow each adventure (that is, every hour, every organ, every art being interconnected and interrelated in the somatic scheme of the whole) to condition and even to create its own technique. (James Joyce, Letters, 21st September 1920) My head is full of pebbles and rubbish and broken matches and bits of glass picked up most everywhere. The task I set myself technically in writing a book from eighteen different points of view and in as many styles, all apparently unknown or undiscovered by my fellow tradesmen, that and the nature of the legend chosen would be enough to upset anyones mental balance. (Letters, 24 June 1921) Ive put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for c
