Editing Finnegans Wake (section)

==Cultural impact==
''Finnegans Wake'' is a difficult text, and Joyce did not aim it at the general reader.<ref>''Who Reads Ulysses?'', Julie Sloan Brannon, Routledge, 2003, {{ISBN|0-415-94206-3}} [https://books.google.com/books?id=XhcrGoqyo9wC&pg=PA26 p26]</ref> Nevertheless, certain aspects of the work have made an impact on popular culture beyond the awareness of it being difficult.<ref>For a list of some references to ''Finnegans Wake'' in film and television, see {{cite web

Similarly, the [[comparative mythology]] term ''[[monomyth]]'', as described by [[Joseph Campbell]] in his book ''[[The Hero with a Thousand Faces]]'',<ref>[http://ias.berkeley.edu/orias/hero/ Monomyth website] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090116181903/http://ias.berkeley.edu/orias/hero/ |date=16 January 2009 }} accessed 28 November 2006.</ref> was taken from a passage in ''Finnegans Wake''.<ref>Campbell, Joseph. ''The Hero with a Thousand Faces''. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1949. p. 30, n35. Campbell cites Joyce 1939, [https://www.trentu.ca/faculty/jjoyce/fw-581.htm p. 581, line 24] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081211060621/http://www.trentu.ca/faculty/jjoyce/fw-581.htm |date=11 December 2008 }}</ref> The work of [[Marshall McLuhan]] was inspired by James Joyce; his collage book ''[[War and Peace in the Global Village]]'' has numerous references to ''Finnegans Wake''.<ref>{{Cite book

Esther Greenwood, [[Sylvia Plath]]'s [[protagonist]] in ''[[The Bell Jar]]'', is writing her college thesis on the "twin images" in ''Finnegans Wake'', although she never manages to finish either the book or her thesis.<ref>[[Howard Moss|Moss, H.]], [https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1971/07/10/dying-an-introduction-howard-moss "Dying: An Introduction"], ''[[The New Yorker]]'', 3 July 1971.</ref> According to James Gourley, Joyce's book features in Plath's "as an alienating canonical authority".<ref>J.

''Finnegans Wake'' provided the name for the ''[[quark]]'', one of the [[elementary particle]]s proposed by physicist [[Murray Gell-Mann]].{{sfn|Gell-Mann|1994|p=[https://archive.org/details/quarkjaguar00gell/page/180 180]}} Specifically Gell-Mann's coinage derives Joyce's phrase in which the outdated English word meaning ''to croak''<ref>

– Three quarks for Muster Mark!
Sure he hasn't got much of a bark
And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.
