Trowbridge commented in some length upon "Dubliners", a collec tion of 15 short stories, and "The Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," an autobiographical novel. He termed the two works as "very solid, masterpieces of their kind although conventional books in many ways.” " ‘Dubliners’ is a chapter of the moral history of Ireland." Trow bridge said. “It is a study in nat uralism, for Joyce felt it his duty to present things exactly as he saw them and heard them." Written in 1904-5 "Dubliners" was written by Joyce in 1904-5. but was not pub lished until 1913. It concerns four phases of life - childhood, ado lescence, adulthood, and public life — the professor said, all planned as a coordinated unit. "Joyce was indignant and did not write merely to present reality but to excite contempt for the per sons he described.” Trowbridge stated. The style of "Dubliners" is one of "scrupulous meanness,” he said. The method used by Joyce is one of complete objectivity; the author never interprets or judges, but pre sents data through narrative and dialogue. Trowbridge stated. Such a method requires minute observation, vivid word pictures, and revelation of character through dialogue, a talent for mimicry, and a careful selection of details to be presented in order to control the reader's response, the English professor said. All these requirements are triumphtly meet by Joyce in “Dubliners", he declared. sponse, the English professor said. All these requirements are tri umphtly meet by Joyce in "Dub liners", he declared. “Portraits” Is Autobiographical "The Portrait or the Artist as a Young Man” is a thinly disguised autobiographical woik concerning the formation and education of a man and might be compared with the works of Thomas Mann and Thomas Wolfe, Trowbridge said. He said that the book was con ventional but was distinctive in that Joyce gives the material bet ter treatment than any other au thor using like material, handling his subject matter with massive ness and weight but in a clever and convincing manner. "I don't know anyone who has done it better,” he said. Trowbridge mentioned briefly Joyce's attempt to vary style with the age of his hero and use of the “stream of consciousness" in re spect to the “Portrait”. Dialogue moves from “baby-talk" in the opening section of the book to a more sophisticated type of speech in accordance with the transition of time, he said. While Joyce did not invent the interior monologue or "stream of consciousness", he developed it to ft high degree, the speaker contended. Freedom Found Through Exile Through the "Portrait" Joyce expresses a need for freedom to do his work, the desire for "a liveli ness which has not yet come into the world," he suggested. He hopes to exile himself to learn the way of the heart. The dilemma, Trowbridge told his audience, is that great society needs great art, but society binds the artist. "An artist must serve society by defying it." he declared. Joyce's struggle for publication of his works awakens the question of whether judgment of literature on non-literary grounds is justi fied, Trowbridge stated. The de cision by American courts to allow publication of Joyce’s "Ulysses" represented a "charter of freedom" for authors, he said. Authors Have Itoom "Authors nowadays have plenty of elbow room to move around In," the professor commented. "But the J basic issue is still not settled." As a type, Joyce represented! both isolationism and an intense concern for the improvement of so ciety, he said. His personal back ground is reflected in his subject matter, Trowbridge indicated. Joyce came from a middle class' family which was in economic de-1 cay. As an Irishman he comments! on the corrupt aspects of his coun try, he explained. — Homecoming Tickets On Sale Tickets for the Homeccmlng j day in all men’s living organizu- j t.ons and Wednesday in the Co-op and the Student Union.
