The James Joyce Collection

On this landmark recording, James Joyce is featured reading selections from his Ulysses, which have been reconstructed and digitally remastered from a 1924 gramophone disc. Also reading from other works by Joyce are three accomplished performers: Cyril Cusack, Siobhan McKenna, and E.G. Marshall.

Author Biography: James Joyce (1882-1941) revolutionized twentieth-century writing with his use of the "stream of consciousness" technique. While ingeniously innovative and experimental, he was also a keenly precise chronicler of the people, places, and sounds of his native Dublin. His other works include A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Finnegans Wake, and Ulysses, which is widely regarded as the greatest novel of the twentieth century.
