James Joyce
Is Love Real?
Irish novelist James Joyce was born on February 2, 1882 the first of ten children into a comfortable middle class home. As the years past, Joyce’s family finances dwindled away and they found themselves on the brink of poverty. Young Joyce’s parents were forced to withdraw him from his Jesuit schooling for lack of money but he was eventually able to continue and complete his schooling with the help of scholarships.
Through his education Joyce was subjected to rigorous catholic training, as was the way in Ireland at that time. ...
After falling in love with Nora Barnacle, a chambermaid, Joyce left his beloved Dublin for the continent in a rebellious gesture, refusing to conform and marry Nora in the Catholic Church. They and their two children lived on Joyce’s meager earnings as an instructor never returning to Ireland. In a self-imposed exile, Joyce and his family lived in Italy and France most of their lives together. Early in World War II, after the Germans invaded France, they moved to Zurich Switzerland where Joyce died soon after suffering from a perforated ulcer in 1941.
Dubliners, Joyce’s first published work of fiction, illustrates the beginning of the technique that Joyce uses so effectively in his later works know as stream of consciousness writing. Beginning from childhood Joyce renders his opinion of Irish history, politics and religion and its influences on life throughout adulthood. ... Joyce imparts his strict catholic upbringing and its influence on the character of the young boy as he experiences his first love, a lustful crush on a friend’s sister.
