Gothic elements, especially the figure of the ghost, are shown to \u201cbring together several seemingly disparate strands of inquiry\u201d in Ulysses (115). While Joyce\u2019s modernist use of the Gothic is shown to make several innovative departures from existing traditions, references to Mangan\u2019s ideas and influences continue to return throughout the article. Notably, a topical Mangan poem is used to transition to a discussion of one of the major Gothic threads in Ulysses: the Irish Famine. Among other aspects of the \u201ctraumatic history of colonial Ireland,\u201d the memory of the Famine haunts the figures of Ulysses and contributes to the novel\u2019s confused modes of life, death, and dying. Wurtz emphasizes, however, that Joyce complicates this <i>outwards<\/i> anti-English deployment of the Gothic by also focusing <i>inwards <\/i>on Ireland, particularly in how Catholicism troubles Stephen\u2019s relationship with his mother\u2019s ghost.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Textmarks<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b>\u201cGood Lord\u2026Undermines the constitution.\u201d (8.41-43)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPerched on high stools\u2026Hungry man is an angry man.\u201d (8.654-663)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a dream, silently, she had come to him\u2026Let me be and let me live!\u201d (1.270-279)<\/p>\n<p><b>References<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b> <\/b>\u201cGothic and Modernism.\u201d <i>Modern Fiction Studies<\/i>.
