Macmillan Literary Lives Ser. : A Literary Life

James Joyce: A Literary Life is a short biography of Joyce for the student and general reader. It is the first biography to appear for a number of years (and the first to use all the voluminous materials by and about Joyce which have become widely available during the last two or three decades) of a novelist whom many regard as the most influential writer of the twentieth century, and certainly one of the major figures in world literature.
