About the Author
James Joyce, the twentieth century's most influential novelist, was born in Dublin on February 2, 1882. The oldest of ten children, he grew up in a family that went from prosperity to penury because of his father's wastrel behavior. After receiving a rigorous Jesuit education, twenty-year-old Joyce renounced his Catholicism and left Dublin in 1902 to spend most of his life as a writer in exile in Paris, Trieste, Rome, and Zurich. On one trip back to Ireland, he fell in love with the now famous Nora Barnacle on June 16, the day he later chose as "Bloomsday" in his novel "Ulysses. "Nara was an uneducated Galway girl who became his lifelong companion an the mother of his two children. In debt and drinking heavily, Joyce lived for thirty-six years on the Continent, supporting himself first by teaching jobs, then trough the patronage of Mrs. Harold McCormick (Edith Rockerfeller) and the English feminist and editor Harriet Shaw Weaver. His writings include "Chamber music "(1907), "Dubliners "(1914), "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man "(1916), "Exiles "(1918), "Ulysses "(1922), "Poems Penyeach "(1927), "Finnegans Wake "(1939), and an early draft of "A Portrait of a Young Man, Stephan Hero "(1944). "Ulysses "required seven years to complete, and his masterpiece, "Finnegans Wake, "took seventeen. Both works revolutionized the form, structure, and content of the novel. Joyce died in Zurich in 1941.

Exiles: A Play in Three Acts

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Very Good in Wrappers. No Jacket. New York. 1975. November 1975. Viking Press. Reprinted Viking Compass Paperback Edition. Very Good in Wrappers. 0670000841. With an Introduction by Padraic Colum. 127 pages. paperback. C84. keywords: Europe Ireland Literature Drama World Literature. DESCRIPTION - Joyce's only play, Exiles, offers a close parallel to the situation in Ibsen's last play, When We Dead Awaken: the alternating relations hip of an artist and his wife and another couple. It was written in 1914, immediately after Joyce completed A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and before he undertook Ulysses. This in itself makes it an interesting study. Moreover, Joyce made copious notes for the play - notes which were directives for himself and which are published in this edition. They are of particular value because they discuss the psychological relationships between the characters and allow us a glimpse of Joyce's clear, realistic, and completely logical mind. 'For those who enjoy seeing the processes behind the accomplished fact, this edition is invaluable.' - Virginia Quarterly Review. 'The reissuing of this book is nothing short of a major event.' - Theatre Arts. 'It is a beautifully written play - as anything Joyce put a mind to would be.' - Harvey Breit, The New York Times. inventory #40936. Seller Inventory # z40936
