James Joyce set Ulysses in Dublin, Ireland, his hometown. Though he moved to continental Europe in his early adulthood and remained a resident there for the rest of his life, Dublin was the setting of all of his works because he felt it contained something "universal." Other Joyce works are frequently praised as modern classics, among them Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Finnegans Wake.
