James Joyce was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century but he was not immediately recognised as such; rather he lived in exile in the cosmopolitan Europe of the 1920s in a bid to escape the suffocating atmosphere & parochial prejudices of his native Dublin. His unstinting dedication to authorship picks him out as a writer in the romantic tradition.
