Yet Joyce'S Genius Was Not Immediately Recognized, Nor Was His Success Easily Won. At Twentytwo The Author Chose A Life Of Exile; He Battled Poverty And Financial Dependency For Much Of His Adult Life; His Outofwedlock Relationship With Nora Barnacle Was Scandalous For The Time; And The Attitudes He Held Toward Ireland, England, Sexuality, Politics, Catholicism, Popular Cultureto Name A Fewwere Complex, Contradictory, And Controversial.In James Joyce, Gordon Bowker, Draws On Material Recently Come To Light And Reconsiders The Two Signal Works Produced About Joyce'S Lifeherbert Gorman'S Authorized Biography Of 1939 And Richard Ellmann'S Magisterial Tome Of 1959.
