He was nonetheless educated at the best Jesuit schools and then at University College, Dublin, and displayed considerable academic and literary ability. Although he spent most of his adult life outside Ireland, Joyce's psychological and fictional universe is firmly rooted in his native Dublin, the city which provides the settings and much of the subject matter for all of his fiction. He is best known for his landmark novel \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e (1922) and its controversial successor \u003ci\u003eFinnegans Wake\u003c\/i\u003e (1939), as well as the short story collection \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e (1914) and the semi-autobiographical novel \u003ci\u003eA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\u003c\/i\u003e (1916).
