Abstract

The central thesis of this paper rests on the assumption that the works of James Joyce and William Faulkner reveal strikíng and up to now insufticiently explored aftinities if we see them as clustering
around and veering between two contrasted yet often paradoxically merging narrative/stylistic poles. The first one which is psychological and expressive and usually related by critics to the rise of the »stream-of-conscíousness novel« has received considerable though still insufficient attention. The other affinity - which is revealed in the feats of hypertextuality enacted in the »lexical playfields« of the later Ulysses chapters and Faulknefs mature fictions ranging from Absalom, Absalom! to e.g. »Old Man« and most notably The Hamlet- has passed unnoticed. The paper is an effort to redress this imbalance.
