| Summary: | James Joyce: A Very Short Introduction highlights one of the most influential writers of the 20th century: James Joyce. He is best known for his complex style, reinvention of language, and depiction of contemporary Ireland. Yet at the time of writing his work faced intense criticism, and his modernist epic Ulysses was banned for over a decade in Britain and America for obscenity. This VSI explores Joyce's major works including Ulysses, Dubliners, and Finnegans Wake. It considers the contemporary significance of Joyce's examination of sexuality and nationalism, and places Joyce's works in the context of his life as well as the historical moment in which they were written. |
