Title: James Joyce by Richard Ellmann ISBN: 0-19-503381-7 Publisher: Oxford Press Pub. Date: November, 1983 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $27.50 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.89 (9 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: classic
Comment: I was prompted to read this by Tom Stoppard's glowing recommendation of it in "Travesties." Ellman certainly brings the liveliness of James Joyce's life to life, describing everything from his practical jokes to his desparate financial straits -- meticulous to the point of noting the times when Joyce entered the lottery. I'd read the original 1958 edition, and I'm curious how the revised edition would stand against that now-honoured text.
For more Ellman, I highly recommend his collection of essays, "a long the river run."
Rating: 5
Summary: Joyce's Shadow
Comment: Richard Ellmann's biography is by far the most comprehensive and readable book on the life of this Irish genius. Ellmann takes us through Joyce's quarrels with his family,church and nation, "the nets," his courtship and family life with Nora, and most importantly, shows the biographical link between Joyce's life and work.This book is a treasure.
Rating: 4
Summary: Exhaustive and entertaining
Comment: An indispensible resource for scholars and fans. No other biography so captures the man and his work. On top of that its a damn fine read, and I would recommend it to anyone who seeks to tackle either of Joyce's last two novels.
