The Essential James Joyce

Here, in one volume, is a selection of Joyce's work covering his entire writing life. Four books — Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Chamber Music (Joyce's early collection of poetry and first published work), and Exiles. his only play — are published in full, together with generous representative extracts from Pomes Penyeach and the great novels. Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.

The texts are supplemented by an introduction and critical and explanatory notes by Harry Levin, a leading authority on Joyce and his works. --back cover
