James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century and author of Ulysses. Born in Dublin, he spent most of his adult life in continental Europe. 'The Dead', the final and longest story of Dubliners (1914), is widely regarded as one of the finest short stories in the English language.
