James Joyce
James Joyce was born on 2 February 1882 in Dublin. He studied modern languages at University College, Dublin. After graduating, Joyce moved to Paris for a brief period in 1902.
In 1904 Joyce met Nora Barnacle, with whom he would spend the rest of his life. They moved to Europe and settled in Trieste where Joyce worked as a teacher.
His first published work was a book of poems called Chamber Music (1907). This was followed by Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), and the play Exiles (1918).
In 1915, the First World War forced Joyce, Nora, and their two children to move to Zurich. Joyce’s most famous novel, Ulysses, was published in Paris in 1922. In the same year, he started work on his last great book, Finnegan’s Wake (1939).
James Joyce died in Zurich on 13 January 1941.
