Implicit Agreement Between the Authors and The Readers in James Joyce's Ulysses

Abstract

This work is a negation of the opinion of David Daiches and focuses on the continuation of implicit agreement in James Joyce’s Ulysses. It also rejects the David Daiches criticism over the modern writers specifically James Joyce where he says that with the passing of the time there remain no implicit agreement between James Joyce and his reader. The research work opposes David Daiches opinion and focus on the areas which are still implicit. So, for reading Joyce’s text the study reveals that the reader has to be cautious and suggests that James Joyce cannot be read randomly like past writers such as Thomas Hardy and Charles Dickens. For getting the outcome of the research, it uses Viktor Shyklovosky’s Defamiliarization Theory
