  • サマリー




  • James Joyce's essay "Ireland, Island of Saints and Sages" (1907) is a reflective and critical exploration of Ireland's cultural, religious, and intellectual history.

    Delivered as a lecture in Trieste, the essay examines Ireland's ancient achievements, particularly in education, spirituality, and literature, juxtaposing them with the contemporary state of Irish society, which Joyce viewed as mired in stagnation and parochialism.

    He critiques the romanticized notions of Irish nationalism and questions the oppressive influence of both British colonial rule and the Catholic Church on Ireland's cultural identity. Joyce's nuanced perspective captures his complex relationship with his homeland—simultaneously celebrating its rich heritage and lamenting its failure to evolve. The essay is a precursor to themes he would explore in his later literary works, emphasizing his commitment to artistic freedom and intellectual honesty.
