Garden of the plagues
(2003) Brownlee, Russel; Brink, André
In the month before the outward fleet arrived there came into the bay a giant whale. There it lay, its dark bulk floating just off the shore, watching. The people watched it back. From the bastions of the castle the soldiers trained their guns upon it. All were struck silent by the presence of this great beast; all felt the eye of the devil upon them. So many sins were recalled then, the prayers rose like smoke above the Valley hamlet.

Nothung up my sleeve : the Wagnerian impulses in James Joyce's Ulysses and A portrait of the artist as a young man
(1999) McGregor, Jamie Alexander; Brink, André; Cartwright, John; Reiner, Stuart
The Introduction isolates the particular focus of the dissertation - viz. the importance of the Wagnerian themes and allusions in James Joyce's Ulysses and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, considering existing studies of the same subject, as well as elucidating the structure and argument of the dissertation as a whole. In Chapters 111-V, the argument focuses on particular themes and characters in the operas that appear to influence Joyce, whether in terms of direct reference or oblique allusion. The focus of each of these three chapters is, respectively, the artist-hero, the father-son relationship and the symbolic role of woman.
