Detailed explanation-1: -Which are two of the actual reasons James Joyce had such a commanding influence over many other 20th Century novelists? His famous pursuit of adventure (reflected in his novels) and his ability to write clear and simple sentences.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is James Joyce famous for? James Joyce is known for his experimental use of language and exploration of new literary methods, including interior monologue, use of a complex network of symbolic parallels, and invented words, puns, and allusions in his novels, especially Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939).
Detailed explanation-3: -Influences. Joyce said he had read every line of only three writers: Flaubert, Ben Jonson and Ibsen. He also loved Tolstoy and Shelley. As a young man, Ibsen was his hero; he wrote him a fan letter and studied to read him in the original (Exiles shows a strong influence).
Detailed explanation-4: -He contributed to the modernist avant-garde movement and is regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century.
Detailed explanation-5: -Joyce distinguishes realism from mimetic fidelity, from “the execution of faultless form”, praising “the infusion of life” more than the mere “copy” of nature. Secondly, Joyce progressively refines his notion of reality and the real, widening the very foundation on which any definition of literary realism could rest.
