James Joyce: A Portrait of the Artist

This sympathetic and accurate picture of the life and times of James Joyce is the first full-length biography since 1959 - since when many of Joyce's friends have felt able to speak more freely about his life. That life began, in circumstances of genteel but accelerating poverty, in Dublin in 1882, and ended painfully in Zurich in 1941. The years between indisputably belonged to the greatest novelist of our age.

Published 1975.
