2. Life and works:   James Joyce was born in Dublin in 1882 and studied at the University College of Dublin. He grew up as a rebel between rebels, whose purpose was freeing Ireland from the English.  He saw himself as a European man  In June 1904, he fell in love with Nora Barnacle; their first date (on 16th June) will become the ‘Bloomsday’ of Ulysses.  In Triest, he began teaching English to Italo Svevo.  He had some financial problems, when he was in Trieste

3. Life and Works:   In 1907, he published ‘Chamber Music’: a collection of 36 poems.  In1914, he published ‘Dubliners’: a collection of short stories about Dublin's life.  The poet Ezra Pound helped Joyce to print: ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’ (1916), which is a semi-autobiographical novel.  In 1922, he published in Paris ‘Ulysses’ but he received some critics about the sexual content present in the story.  He died in Switzerland in 1941.

4. Ordinary Dublin:   At the age of 22 he went into a voluntary exile.  He set all his works in Dublin or Ireland, representing a realistic portrait of the life of the people doing ordinary things.  Portraying these ordinary people, he could represent people’s mentality fusing it with the reality of the world.

5. The rebellion against the Church:   Joyce was educated by the Jesuits, but he challenged Catholicism. He criticized the fact that the Church had taken possession of the way the Irish thought.  He was almost blind but he had developed his hearing skills, so to him the words used became very important.

6. A subjective perception of time:   Joyce was a modernist writer.  In his works, the facts become confused and were studied from a different point of view simultaneously, in fact they are presented as clues and not with the use of an omniscient narrator.  Joyce's story opens with medias res and the analysis of a particular moment, and the portrait of the character is based

James Joyce Modern Writer Extraordinaire, Genius, Eccentric

In the particular is contained the universal.” • In 1887, his father became a tax collector and moved the Joyce family to a more fashionable family. By 1893, Joyce’s father had lost his position. The family would eventually become impoverished.
Joyce studied at Clongowes Wood College from 1888 until 1892. When the family’s financial state devolved, Joyce had to leave the school.
