Career
James Joyce's first piece of writing was a poem protesting the Catholic Church's treatment of the death of Charles Stewart Parnell when Joyce was nine years old. While he continued to write and publish poetry throughout his life, Joyce was far better known for his short stories and longer works. In Dubliners, he critiques what he saw as the stagnation in the town of his birth through a collection of short stories - including what would become one of Joyce's more famous tales, The Dead.Like much of his output, Joyce's masterpiece Ulysses is strongly autobiographical. The book takes place on June 16, 1904, the same day as Joyce's first date with his wife Nora Barnacle, and takes inspiration for the character Leopold Bloom from Alfred H. Hunter - a friend of his father's who tended to Joyce after the author got into a drunken altercation.
