title: Nora Barnacle

description: Nora BarnacleNora Barnacle was born in Galway as the second of eight children of Thomas Barnacle, a baker and Annie Healy, a seamstress. She left school aged thirteen and, for seven years, worked as a portress in a convent until 1904 when she went to Dublin to work in Finn's Hotel. Soon after her arrival there she met JJ who was attracted by her natural manner, wit and determination.Less than four months later, they left for the continent and eventually settled in Trieste where JJ secured work at the Berlitz school. Their son Giorgio was born in 1905. Stanislaus Joyce joined them some months later and helped financially. Lucia was born in 1907 and by 1910, Eva and Eileen Joyce had come from Dublin to live with them, providing company and help for Nora.When war broke out, the family left Trieste for Zurich where they lived comfortably with income from patrons and publications. After the war they moved to Paris where they lived in hotels and later rented an apartment. In 1922, despite JJ's protests, Nora visited Galway with their children but had a bad experience due to the Irish Civil War.Though Nora recovered from cancer in the late 1920s, she was upset by Giorgio's relationship with Helen Kastor Fleischman and increasingly worried about Lucia's behaviour. She and JJ were formally married in London in 1931. Unfortunately, Lucia got worse, and she was finally institutionalised in 1936.The family fled Paris at the beginning of World War II. They lived for a year in the French village of Saint-Gérand-le-Puy before they managed to get to Switzerland in December 1940, four weeks before JJ died. Nora continued to live in Zurich where Giorgio also resided, with only brief visits to Paris to help sort out and sell what they had left behind. She died in 1951. Tim O'Neill

title: Sylvia Beach

description: Sylvia BeachBookseller and publisher Beach's long collaboration with JJ was among the most important developments of literary modernism. An American, one of three daughters of a Presbyterian minister, Beach's travels with the family to Europe presaged her settling in Paris in 1916. With the help of French bookshop owner Adrienne Monnier, in November 1919 she opened Shakespeare and Company, a lending library and shop devoted to English-language books. She and Monnier maintained a long relationship until the latter's death in 1955. Beach met JJ within days of his arrival in Paris on 8 July 1920; he quickly became a frequent customer. Following the prosecution in February 1921 of The Little Review in New York for including purportedly obscene episodes of Ulysses, Beach agreed to publish the entire Ulysses under the imprint of her shop. Beach negotiated for printing by Maurice Darantiere of Dijon, solicited subscriptions as a form of advance for JJ, arranged for typists of the manuscript, and managed to have the first two copies delivered to Paris on JJ's birthday, 2 February 1922. Giving JJ extraordinary royalties, she oversaw nine printings of Ulysses through 1931, during which time she also published in 1927 JJ's slim poetry collection, Pomes Penyeach, and in 1929 the collection of essays on the nascent Finnegans Wake, Our Examination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress. JJ exploited Shakespeare and Company as a secretarial office, a post office, and a bank. Yet, despite Beach's support, her relations with JJ soured as his popularity soared. Facing financial difficulties, Beach organized a sale of her manuscripts from JJ and other authors in May 1935. The German occupation of Paris led to Beach's abrupt closing of her shop in December 1941. Continuing as a Paris resident, Beach became a resource for the postwar growth of JJ scholarship.

Bloom" , as he named the agent to John Quinn, was male. She opened her literary agency in early 1917 and ran it for about a year out of an apartment in New York. Though not Jewish, in a letter from 1973 she tantalizingly wrote that she was "spoken of as a Jewess because I'm small and dark" (In Defense of Marion: The Love of Marion Bloom and H. L. Mencken, ed.

title: Frank Budgen

description: Frank BudgenPainter, socialist activist and ear to JJ. Born in Crowhurst, Surrey, Frank Spencer Curtis Budgen spent several years at sea before settling in London as a postal worker. He became General Secretary of the Socialist Labour Party in 1907. In 1910, he went to Paris to study painting, supporting himself as a model for the Swiss sculptor August Suter. During his years in Paris, he became acquainted with the French writer Blaise Cendrars and the Swiss poet and translator Siegfried Lang. At the invitation of August Suter he moved to Switzerland shortly before World War I, where he was employed in Zurich at Great Britain's Ministry of Information, established for "the spread of British propaganda in neutral countries" . In Zurich, he became acquainted with JJ who engaged in lengthy discussions with him about Ulysses, at the time in progress. Budgen wrote about these essential insights in his reminiscences, James Joyce and the Making of "Ulysses" (1934).In his own right, Budgen was a painter, mostly of landscapes, and made several portraits, sketches and charcoal drawings of JJ. He was a model for a sculpture by August Suter which can be seen in Zurich's Uraniastrasse. After the war Budgen returned to London, where he lived until his death. He was married to Francine Budgen (1896-1977) with daughter Joan. Frank and Francine Budgen are buried at the graveyard of St George's Church, Crowhurst, Surrey. Budgen was a guest of honour at the first International James Joyce Symposium in Dublin, June 1967, and participated for a few days in the second one, 1969. Budgen's vivid autobiography of his first forty years, Myselves When Young, was published in 1970. Fritz Senn
