This fully-referenced work is the first attempt to place Joyce at the centre of the turbulent, traumatic and influential events through which he lived. It challenges existing biographies, which have reflected not only Joyce s frequent calculated deceptions but also the suspect claims advanced by his family, friends and apologists.
