James Joyce (1882-1941)

Irish author and poet James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (1882-1941), one of the best known writers of the twentieth century, was born on February 2, 1882, in Rathgar, a Dublin suburb. Joyce, the eldest of seven children, was educated at University College. Joyce developed friendships with other members of the Irish Literary Renaissance, including John Millington Synge and Oliver St. John Gogarty. His first book, Chamber Music, was published in 1907. Joyce's well-known literary works include Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Ulysses (1922), and Finnegans Wake (1939). Joyce died in Zurich, Switzerland in 1941.
