 note = {pdf, The first part of this pair of essays on A Vision by W.B. Yeats and Finnegans Wake by James Joyce (Mortson) examined the personal and literary relationship and history of the two Irish writers, culminating in the publication of their respective last major works of prose. That essay focused on the continued interest, at once ironic and sincere, in the Western esoteric tradition and the occult shared by both writers. It attempted to show how this mutual interest was reflected in these authors’ earlier prose and poetic writings. Additionally it tried to trace how certain themes, symbols and even characters within these works, revealing this esoteric influence, were creatively employed by both Yeats and Joyce in an ongoing exchange throughout their particularly long and productive literary encounter. The essay further argued that evidence for this encounter is very clearly shown in Chapter 10 (Book 2, Part 2) of Finnegans Wake.
The present paper, being the second part of the pair, will concentrate more intently on Book 2, Part 2 (or 2.2) in special consideration of the structural and thematic impact of A Vision on the chapter, and by extension on the whole of Finnegans Wake. However, in an even narrower focus, specific attention will be given to the central and earliest written section within this chapter which has been called “The Triangle” in respect to the circular and triangular geometric figure that appears at its heart (FW 293). The extensive placement of references to Yeats and A Vision in this section is not disputed by critics, but a common conclusion is that Joyce’s use of these references is superficial in substance and parodic in intent, no deeper motivation being evident. Notable exceptions to this view are Finnegans Wake critics Clive Hart and, more recently, Alistair Cormack. It will be argued presently, however, that the thematic and structural influence of A Vision on this pivotal section of Finnegans Wake is even more profound than has been indicated by Hart and Cormack.},
