Interestingly, given the formal artistic control that we will see was subsequently attributed to Joyce’s work, Edward Garnett, the same reader who accepted Pointed Roofs for publication with Duckworth, rejected A Portrait for being ‘too discursive, formless, unrestrained’ (Deming, 1970: 81). That it was ‘unconventional’ would not stand against it in the present literary climate, he admitted, but it needed ‘time and trouble spent on it, to make it a more finished piece of work, to shape it more carefully as the product of the craftmanship, mind and imagination of an artist’.
I think out of the dreary sameness of existence, a measure of dramatic life may be drawn. Even the most commonplace, the deadest among the living, may play a part in a great drama. . Life we must accept as we see it before our eyes, men and women as we meet them in the real world, not as we apprehend them in the world of faery. The great human comedy in which each has share, gives limitless scope to the true artist, today as yesterday and as in years gone by. (28) In arguing for the role of the commonplace in art here, Joyce is aligning himself with a European model of literary realism embodied by his twin A NEW REALISM 35 36 KEY IDEAS heroes Gustave Flaubert (1821–80) and Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906), in which the objective depiction of mundane everyday life is combined with a refusal of moral accountability and a preoccupation with formal artistry and technique.
But it is a book that every serious writer needs to read . . in order to have a clear idea of the point of development of our art’ (Deming, 1970: 266). Of course it is not a traditional realism that Pound has in mind here, but one in which the standard demand for a ‘story’ is removed, to be replaced instead by an emphasis on the exact presentation of life achieved through precise literary technique. The typical response was that of Arnold Bennett, who declared that he regarded Ulysses from two extremes: either bored by its ‘pervading difficult dullness’ (Deming, 1970: 219) or shocked to the point of dropping A NEW REALISM 41 42 KEY IDEAS it.
