He contributed to the modernist avant-garde and is regarded as one of the most influential and important authors of the 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, most famously stream of consciousness.

James Joyce was born in Dublin on 2 February 1882. During this period he published A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Exiles, a play (1918).
