Joyce, James

Joyce, James (1882–1941). High priest of modernism and most uncompromising of novelists. The short stories of Dubliners (1914) chapter the moral history of his country ‘in a style of scrupulous meanness’. In A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) he set an ironical distance between himself and the catholicism and aestheticism of his youth. The major work Ulysses (1922) chronicles a single day in June 1904 but was eight years in the writing and passed the censors only in 1933. In the still more experimental Finnegans Wake he goes where few readers follow.
