James Joyce was an Irish, modernist writer who wrote in a ground-breaking style that was known both for its complexity and explicit content.SynopsisJames Joyce was born on February 2, 1882 in Dublin, Ireland. He published Portrait of the Artist in 1916 and caught the attention of Ezra Pound. With Ulysses, Joyce perfected his stream-of-consciousness style and became a literary celebrity. The explicit content of his prose brought about landmark legal decisions on obscenity. Joyce battled eye ailments for most of his life. He died in 1941.ProfileBorn James Augustine Aloysius Joyce on February 2, 1882 in Dublin, Ireland, Joyce was one of the most revered writers of the 20th century, whose landmark book, Ulysses, is often hailed as one of the finest novels ever written. His exploration of language and new literary forms showed not only his genius as a writer but spawned a fresh approach for novelists, one that drew heavily on Joyces love of the stream-of-consciousness technique and the examination of big events through small happenings in everyday lives.Joyce came from a big family. He was the eldest of ten children born to John Stanislaus Joyce and his wife Marry Murray Joyce. His father, while a talented singer (he reportedly had one of the finest tenor voices in all of Ireland), didnt provide a stable a household. He liked to drink and his lack of attention to the family finances meant the Joyces never had much money.From an early age, James Joyce showed not only exceeding intelligence but also a gift for writing and a passion for literature. He taught himself Norwegian so he could read Henrik Ibsens plays in the language theyd been written, and spent his free time devouring Dante, Aristotle, and Thomas Aquinas.This collection includes the following:I.
