Remembering and the Sound of Words is a major new study of four of modern literature's most important writers - and the first serious attempt to account for complex sound effects in prose. Mallarm, Proust, Joyce, and Beckett are all masters of complex musical prose, and all four are fascinated by the powers of memory. Through close readings of their writing, which reveal the way in which all four use key-words and sound effects to mimic the processes of memory, Adam Piette provides answers to two important but neglected questions - how do we respond to poetic prose; and how do writers represent the subtle forces of memory.

James Joyce Literary Supplement, 1997 Remembering and the Sound of Words is one of the more remarkable critical studies it has been my good fortune and delight to have read. ... it should be greeted in triumph, if only for having vanquished a few recent impieties and for restoring the remembering mind to its rightful eminence. ... this is that rare instance of a critical work that waves no banners, nor proclaims a post-Derridean superiority over its ostensible subjects, but instead, quietly and unpretentiously, respects the texts it discusses, and does what criticism so rarely does, i.e. illuminating those texts by sensitive close reading. ... It is an exciting thesis, complex and ambitious, yet clearly stated and meticulously worked out. The effect is compelling. ... What is consistently impressive is not simply the range of Piette's reference, nor the precision of his detail, but the quality of the insight be brings to and derives from the texts he examines.
