Most of the poems in the book of the Music Room were written by Joyce during the beginning of her writing career. Holy Office (1904), Chamber of Music (1907), and Gas of Burner (1912) were written before the age of stepping on the three heads. During that time he had trouble finding a publisher for his collection of short stories, the Dubliners. Already many publishers rejected, with the reason his work reap the controversy. Once the bitter one, one of the publishers who had previously opened and recorded the script, suddenly changed his mind, like the prints back. Rejection for the thing that surely survived for Joyce as a young writer, especially when it fell fallen poor, as for the likes of friends did not last well. So do not be surprised if Joyce's poetry generally contains the gonjang-ganjing experienced during his youth. Luckily later the Dubliners were published in 1914, it was not by publishers in Ireland in England.
Chamber Music consists of thirty-four romantic poems, written before Joyce met Nora Barnacle, who later became a wife. As he once said, "When I write Chamber Music, I am a lonely young man walking alone in the middle of the night while waiting for a girl to love me one day." The last two poems, XXXV and XXXVI added a few days before the script. Although some sources mentioned from the title inspired by the sound of a woman's urine pink in the beard, in fact the poems in the music room is thick with music nuances, especially the power of praise music, so many famous musicians who mengadaptasinya into the lyrics of the song.
Before heading out of Ireland, Joyce had published a long poem entitled The Holy Office in 1904, containing allusions to the revived Irish literature that was dated and weightless, artists still holding tightly to conservative art. According to Joyce, Irish art will not develop as long as freedom of expression by the boundaries set by the church. He reflects on the success of Thomas Aquinas in opening up the medieval church's view, with the birth of classical Greek thought, the time when various beliefs have not yet been discovered.
After graduating college Joyce had lived in Paris. He returned to Dublin in 1912 after receiving news from his deceased mother, as well as a collection of his short story, the Dubliners, which were delicious to the publisher of Mounsel & Company. However, the original manuscript was rejected. Upsetly betrayed, he wrote the satirical poem Gas from Burner, can be seen the contents of the first line of poetry was addressed to George Roberts, chairman of publisher Mounsel & Company. Joyce, then aged 22, feels isolated, unsupported by other writers. He, who considers himself the 'golden boy' of Ireland feels left out. Instead of getting praise, his work is even accused of containing religious blasphemy.
Feeling no longer strengthened by his own people, so for the sake of his career writing, Joyce le Ireland. Together with his girlfriend, Nora Barnacle, they once settled in various cities, ranging from Paris, Trieste, and Zurich. During his wandering life he wrote Pomes Penyeach (so named for a poem of penny consideration), so some of his poem titles were taken from the names of places like San Sabba, Fontana, and Bahnhofstrasse. There are several poems written for his wife and children, and there is also a description of the longing for his hometown. After all, he never returned to Ireland from the request came from WB Yeats, the pioneer of the revival of Irish literature. The last poem he wrote was Ecce Puer in 1932. This poem was flooded with the birth of his grandson, Stephen, as well as commemorating the newly deceased condition.
In understanding Joyce's work, we may be there besides understanding verbatim, the equally important element is understanding the journey of the author's own life. Not just the Portrait of Artist Portrait as a Young Person, it is almost entirely Joyce's work is an autobiography, about how Stephen Dedalus's struggle wings his wings to fly toward the sun, according to his ambition, "expressing himself with art as freely as possible, in silence, silence, and alienation.
