Inspiring, learned and readable this is the long-awaited, comprehensive biography of the great Irish author James Joyce, who died 70 years ago and who wrote the outstanding novels Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.
James Joyce was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, but he was not immediately recognised as such; rather he lived in exile in the cosmopolitan Europe of the 1920s in a bid to escape the suffocating atmosphere and parochial prejudices of his native Dublin. His unstinting dedication to authorship picks him out as a writer in the romantic tradition. He battled poverty and financial dependency for much of his adult life, as well as near-blindness from 1917 and the grief of his daughter Lucia's mental illness.
