James Joyce
1882 Dublin
1941 Zürich
James Joyce was born on February 2, 1882 in Dublin. He was the oldest of twelve children born to John Stanislaus Joyce, a Collector of Rates, and his wife Mary Jane. Joyce's childhood was marked by constant moves and persistent financial difficulties. He received a strict Catholic education, attending several Jesuit schools in Dublin before studying philosophy and languages at the University College, Dublin. Joyce moved to Paris in 1902 on the pretext of studying medicine. Here he first came into contact with the literature of Symbolism and Realism. Because of financial reasons, Joyce had to return to Dublin in 1903, where the next year he met his future wife, Nora Barnacle, with whom he would leave his homeland forever. In 1914 Joyce published his first literary work, "The Dubliners," a volume of short stories. His short autobiographical novel "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," which appeared in 1916, became a source for his masterpiece "Ulysses," a work which was very controversial during Joyce's lifetime. His late work, "Finnegan's Wake," which appeared in 1939, was considered by contemporary critics as unreadable, due to the complexity and opacity of the form and content. They subsequently lived with their two children all over Europe, in Pula, Triest, Zurich, Paris, and London. Joyce worked as a journalist and as a language teacher for the Berlitz schools. His brother Stanislaus and by his patroness Harriet Shaw Weaver financially supported Joyce for much of his life. James Joyce died on January 13, 1941 in Zurich.
