James Joyce Chronology

Book Description
The Author Chronologies Series aims to provide a means whereby the precise chronological facts of an author's life and career can be seen at a glance. This chronology provides a synopsis of Joyce's first years in Dublin and, from 1900, a more detailed account of his life there and attempts to become established as a writer when living mainly in Trieste and Zurich; and finally (when he became world-famous) Paris, concluding with his death in 1941.

Joyce's life and writings continue to attract huge interest and controversy. For much of his life he had to struggle against poverty, ill health (enduring many operations on his eyes) and problems associated with the publishing of his books or extracts from them. This chronology travels from his early years in Dublin (from which he permanently exiled himself in 1912) to his years on the continent, principally Trieste, Zurich (where he died in 1941) and Paris. It deals not only with his four major prose works, but also his poetry, one extant play, journalism, lectures and articles. The Chronology draws upon many sources including the latest research, includes helpful sections on people of importance in Joyce's life and is fully indexed. This is an invaluable reference tool for students, scholars and all those interested in this key twentieth-century writer.
