| Summary |
This critical compendium surveys the whole of Joyce's work, from his early writings as a student in Dublin to the labyrinths of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. It shows how Joyce grew beyond his early artistic revolt against middle-class Ireland to become a great comic writer, who even at his most experimental never ceased to draw his inspiration from the common life of ordinary men and women.--Adapted from publisher description |
