The Rivers of Anna Livia Plurabelle

Last year, on 26 April, the Glasgow University Finnegans Wake Reading Group started reading Joyce's favourite chapter, 'Anna Livia Plurabelle.' Every Wednesday morning, for two hours, we would meet on Zoom and discuss half a page or more of Joyce's text. The chapter is only twenty pages long, but it took us nine months to get through.

Joyce believed he'd included around 500 river names in the chapter, but river hunters have tracked down more than twice that number. There are 1117 listed in Raphael Slepon's Finnegans Wake Extensible Elucidation Treasury. Here's how the list begins.



The list, based on Roland McHugh's Annotations to Finnegans Wake, rarely gives information about where the rivers are. When we looked for the Cheb, the first one on the list, no river came up on google.

DAVY CUNNINGHAM, RIVER MONITOR


At our first meeting, Davy Cunningham, who designs the lighting for operas when he's not reading Joyce, generously volunteered to be our river monitor. Every week, he would check the fweet list and search for the rivers, posting the results to the group's Facebook page. He's agreed to let me share his findings here.

Davy talks what he learned from the search:

'Some of the names are not rivers, but towns or mountains. I imagine this is because, when a name is written on a map, it's not always clear what it refers to. Many of them, particularly in Australia and Africa, are colonial in origin. Since many of the African countries have become independent since 1939, many of these colonial names have been replaced. As Joyce got many names from the index of an atlas the compiler of that index may have made some mistakes. Also, some alphabets don't have some letters, while others have additional letters, so spelling in transliteration becomes flexible. In the US many river names are taken from Native American languages. In other examples, where names are conveyed orally, misunderstandings occur, or the same river has different names in different languages.

Joyce was really only interested in the sound of the words, and their use to him in forming the word-play of the Wake. I don't think he cared much where they were in the world, except maybe the Irish ones.

Some names are very hard to search for, eg Error (p198 - L12). Try asking Google.
Another difficult one is Valley (p215 - L11).

I have in one case, p197 - L26 Quagua, included a link to an old sketch map, where the name is written along the bends of the river.

In another case, Trader Beck (p198 - L6), I can find a company of that name in the US, but no river.'

Davy concluded that 15 of the entries in fweet were 'not a river'.
