James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2nd February 1882 –13th January 1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers of the early 20th century. James is best known for Ulysses (1922), the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939).
Joyce lived outside their home country most of his adult life and his Irish experiences are essential to their work. His fictional universe stood strongly in Dublin. He is both one of the most international and one of the most local of all the English language modernists.
James was born into a wealthy family in the Dublin suburb of Rathgar.
In 1891, James wrote the poem, Et Tu Healy, On the Death of Charles Stewart Parnell. In 1892, James had to get out Clongowes because his father can no longer pay their tuition. In 1893, John was dismissed with a pension. So, he started a descent into poverty for the family, mainly due to alcohol consumption by John and his general financial mismanagement. John Joyce was the model for the character of Simon Dedalus in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Ulysses, as well as the uncle of the narrator in several short stories in Dubliners.
