Synopsis "occasional, critical, and political writing"

A unique anthology of Joyce's non-fictional writings, this volume addresses diverse issues such as aesthetics, the functions of the press, censorship, Irish cultural history, English literature and Empire. The collection includes newspaper articles, reviews, lectures and essays, and covers 40 years of Joyce's life. These pieces also clarify and illuminate the transformations in Joyce's fiction, from Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man to the first drafts of Ulysses. Gathering together more than fifty essays, several of which have never been available in an English edition, this is the most complete and the most helpfully annotated collection. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

James Joyce (Dublin, 1882-Zurich, 1941) was an Irish writer, globally recognized as one of the most important and influential of the 20th century, acclaimed for his masterpiece, Ulysses (1922), and for his controversial later novel, Finnegans Wake (1939). His series of short stories titled Dubliners (1914), as well as his semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), have also been highly valued. Joyce is a prominent representative of the avant-garde literary movement known as Anglo-Saxon modernism, alongside authors such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Ezra Pound, or Wallace Stevens.
