Joyce's life and writings continue to attract huge interest and controversy. For much of his life he had to struggle against poverty, ill health (enduring many operations on his eyes) and problems associated with the publishing of his books or extracts from them. This chronology travels from his early years in Dublin (from which he permanently exiled himself in 1912) to his years on the continent, principally Trieste, Zurich (where he died in 1941) and Paris. It deals not only with his four major prose works, but also his poetry, one extant play, journalism, lectures and articles. The Chronology draws upon many sources including the latest research, includes helpful sections on people of importance in Joyce's life and is fully indexed. This is an invaluable reference tool for students, scholars and all those interested in this key twentieth-century writer.
