Richard Ellmann, James Joyce, and Literary Biography

A talk by Prof Em Zachary Leader (University of Roehampton, London) organised by the School of English.

No registration required for this event.

Richard Ellmann’s James Joyce (1959) has been called “the greatest literary biography of the twentieth century.” This talk, by the critic and biographer Zachary Leader, tells the story of the book and its maker, in the process arguing for the artistic claims not only of Ellmann himself, a remarkable man, but of literary biography in general.
