description: James Joyce was one do the most influential modernists of the 20th century - famous for developing the 'stream of consciousness' technique in writing. In a millennial survey, "Ulysses" was voted the most popular novel of the century. The "Preface Books" series approaches the work of Joyce from a particular perspective which, by introducing the writer via a biographical sketch and a survey of his cultural and social context, encourages readers to understand his work in the period it was written. Sydney bolt's A Preface to Joyce provides a fascinating account of one of the greatest twentieth-century writers and will be essential reading for anyone interested in reading the works of Joyce.
