Description

Influential and innovative, James Joyce (1882–1941) led the vanguard of twentieth-century fiction. Sooner or later, most undergraduates encounter him, and many scholars devote their entire careers to his exuberantly eloquent prose. Joyce's experimental use of language and stream-of-consciousness techniques continues to captivate modern readers and writers, and this anthology offers a first-rate introduction to the Irish author's fiction and poetry.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Joyce's coming-of-age novel, appears here in its entirety. Readers will also find the complete texts of the short story collection Dubliners, and the play Exiles. Additional contents include highlights from Ulysses, universally acknowledged as among the English language's most challenging and rewarding novels, and Chamber Music, an early book of poems.

Titivillus B, Educator

A generous reader of both well known and more obscure Joyce writings. Having these texts in one volume allows the reader and student to trace his stylistic development. An excellent introduction.

Mandy J, Reviewer

Useful collection of some of Joyce’s writings, including A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and the story collection The Dubliners, plus some extracts from Ulysses, his only play The Exiles and some poetry. A sort of “starter” pack for Joyce novices.
