Book
Nora : a biography of Nora Joyce / Brenda Maddox.
Nora Joyce is commonly portrayed by the literary world as an illiterate, coarse chambermaid and no match for her husband's genius. this new and enthralling biography is the first full study of Nota's life before, with, and after James Joyce. Here she is revealed as devoted, passionate, eloquent, irreverent, long-suffering and a powerful influence upon her difficult and demanding husband. In releasing Nora from the world of academic footnotes, Brenda Maddox has produced both a fine biography of a complex woman and a work which will inform and interest all Joyce readers and scholars.
