James Joyce, author of Ulysses and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, revolutionized modernist literature with his experimental explorations of consciousness and language. Ulysses was banned in the United States and the United Kingdom for obscenity until a landmark 1933 U.S. court ruling allowed its publication. Joyce resisted censorship through persistence and by publishing abroad, primarily in Paris.
