James Joyce revolutionized the novel, the short story, and modern literature as we know it. He was born inDublin, the first of 10 children in aCatholic family. His father was a civil servant whose poor financial judgment left the family impoverished for much of Joyce’s youth. Young James attendedDublin’s fine Jesuit schools, which gave him a firm grounding in theology and classical languages--subjects that appeared repeatedly in his later work. The story of his early life and his intellectual rebellion againstCatholicism and Irish nationalism are told in the largely autobiographical novelA、Portrait of theArtist as a Young Man.
In 1902, at the age of 20, Joyce leftDublin to spend the rest of his life in Paris, Trieste, Rome, and Zurich, with only occasional visits back home.Despite this self-imposed exile,Dublin was the setting for most of his writings.Dubliners (1914), Joyce’s most accessible work, is a collection of short stories describing the paralyzing social mores of middle-classCatholic life. "TheDead," the final story in the collection, is frequently listed as one of the finest short stories ever written.
Joyce’s next book, Ulysses, took seven years to write; once he finished writing it, he almost couldn’t find anyone to publish it. Upon the novel’s publication, both Ireland and the United States immediately banned it as obscene.Despite these obstacles, Ulysses has come to be generally recognized as the greatest twentieth-century novel written inEnglish. The novel was revolutionary in many ways. The structure was unique: Joyce recreated one rill day in the life of his protagonist, LeopoldBloom, and modeled the actions of the story on those of Ulysses in the Odyssey. In recountingBloom’s day, Joyce mentions everything that happens toBloom--including thoughts, bodily functions, and sexual acts--providing a level of physical actuality that had never before been achieved in literature. To provide a psychological insight comparable to the physical detail, Joyce employed a then-revolutionary technique called stream of consciousness, in which the protagonist’s thoughts are laid bare to the reader.
From 1922 until 1939, joyce worked on a vast, experimental novel that eventually became known as Finnegan’s Wake. The novel, which recounts "the history of the world" through a family’s dreams, employs its own "night language" of puns, foreign words, and literary allusions. It has no clear chronology or plot, and it begins and ends on incomplete sentences that flow into each other. Many of Joyce’s supporters thought he was wasting his time on the project, although the playwright SamuelBeckett, who later won the Nobel Prize for Literature, helped Joyce compile the final text when his eyesight was failing. Today, Finnegan’s Wake is viewed as Joyce’s most obscure and possibly most
