Born in Dublin in 1882 and educated by Jesuits, James Joyce moved to the
Continent after graduating from the University of Dublin. While he was teaching
English abroad, many of his closest friends were among the more than 500 Irish
patriots killed by the British in the Easter Rebellion. Although he would never live
in Ireland again, his works describe and reflect his homeland in both dialect and
setting. His epic novel Ulysses, one of the supreme masterpieces of twentieth-
century literature, was published in Paris in 1922 and banned as obscene in the
United States until 1933. In 1940, Joyce fled Paris to Zurich, where he died the
following year.
