Listen "The Stream of Consciousness in William Wordsworth and James Joyce"
Episode Synopsis
Imagine yourself immersed in a beautiful landscape, and being moved by the view before your eyes. To remember the experience, perhaps you might take a photograph. But while a photograph can snap a single moment, a still image doesn’t really reflect the way your original experience unfolded through time. Can writing achieve something different? Both William Wordsworth and James Joyce were interested in the problem of how to represent the continuous stream of conscious experience. Adam James Cuthbert trains his eye on the poetry and fiction that they produced, and suggests that their literary efforts can be understood through an analogy with the camera.
