Blurb: “This collection provides a most complete introduction to the prose and poetry of James Joyce.

The volume contains the full text of four books Joyce published before and during the First World War:

Chamber Music, the early poems which appeared in 1907, Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Exiles, a three-act play he wrote in 1914. In addition there are representative extracts from his later books; Pomes Penyeach, Ulysses, which first came out in Paris in 1922, and his last book, Finnegans Wake, which was published in 1939, two years before his death.

The general introduction by Harry Levin, one of the foremost authorities on Joyce, is supplemented by critical and explanatory notes.”
