James Joyce is the most representative author of English Modernism.
The Irish writer used new narrative techniques in order to properly display the individual crisis, the disgregation of identity and the disorientation of the human being.
He developed the concept of "anti hero" that was displayed in a interior plot, completely different from the traditional external plot based on action.
Some of the new techniques he used were the stream of consciousness, the interior monologue, the random association and he chose a broken syntax to mirror the unconscious shifts of human thoughts and emotions.
In the video I analyse especially "Eveline" and "The Dead" (from the "Dubliners") and Joyce's most famous work "Ulysses".
