James Joyce is one of the most revered and influential writers of the 20th century. This Irishman transformed novelistic conventions through experimentation in language and narrative structure. Ulysses , A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man , and the stories that make up his collection Dubliners are among the major works discussed in this invaluable guide for the student writer.
