A selection of Joyce's work which covers his entire writing life. "Chamber music", "Dubliners", "A portrait of the artist as a young man" and "Exiles" are published in full, with generous representative extracts from "Pomes penyeach" "Ulysses" and "Finnegan's wake". The text is supplemented by an introduction and critical and explanatory notes from Harry Levin, the foremost authority on Joyce.
