James Joyce - Collected Poems

Beschreibung

Bringing together the full range of James Joyce's poetic output, Collected Poems offers a rare and revealing glimpse into the lyrical heart of one of the twentieth century's greatest literary innovators. Best known for his groundbreaking novels Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, Joyce was also a gifted poet whose verse is marked by musicality, emotional subtlety, and a deep sense of personal and artistic reflection. This volume includes Joyce's two published poetry collections, Chamber Music (1907) and Pomes Penyeach (1927), as well as additional verse. From the early romanticism of Chamber Music to the more mature, introspective tones of Pomes Penyeach, these poems trace the evolution of a writer finding his voice in rhythm and rhyme before transforming modern prose.

Autor

1882-1941. Born in Dublin, Ireland, into a family of ten children, Joyce showed singular intelligence and a gift for writing from an early age. After leaving University College Dublin with a degree in modern languages, Joyce emigrated to Europe, living in Italy, Zurich and Paris. A string of short stories, including Dubliners, were followed by his first novel, Portrait of an Artist in 1916, and then the controversial but very successful Ulysses in 1922, a work in which he perfected his stream-of-consciousness style and made his name as a great literary figure. Joyce died in Zurich in 1941, two years after the publication of Finnegans Wake, his long-awaited follow up novel which earned him further honours.
