Chester G. Anderson chronicles Joyce's journey from his turbulent Dublin upbringing — shaped by Catholicism, Irish nationalism, and financial instability — through his self-imposed exile across Europe, to his emergence as the author of such revolutionary works as Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake. Accompanied by 124 illustrations, the book situates Joyce firmly within the cultural, political, and artistic currents of his era, painting a vivid picture of the world that both nurtured and tormented him.\n\nAnderson's approach is both scholarly and accessible, making this volume an ideal introduction for the uninitiated and a rewarding companion for the seasoned Joyce scholar. By grounding the literary achievement in the biographical and historical context — the pubs of Dublin, the drawing rooms of Paris, the little magazines of modernism — Anderson illuminates the inseparable relationship between Joyce's lived experience and his radical literary innovations. It is a work that leaves the reader asking: how much of the world did Joyce transform, and how much did the world transform him?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572541624539,"sku":"2026200018871-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/87470823-9bc0-491b-8621-413266e3869e.png?v=1791166746","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018871-secondhand-james-joyce-and-his-world","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
