Abstract
Coincidences between Joyce’s life and Jewish history are not the purpose of this chapter despite the existence of many intersections: 1882, the year of his birth, for example, marked the beginning of the forced exodus of Jews from Eastern Europe to the West initiated by the murder of Alexander II in 1881 and the promulgation of the notorious May Laws in Russia in 1882 under Alexander III. The year also initiated a decade of Jewish immigration to Ireland which saw the Jewish population quadruple from 472 to 1779 between 1881 and 1891. The first so-called international Anti-Jewish Congress held in Dresden also occurred in 1882, as well as the second attempt to establish Jewish agricultural colonies in Palestine in four new locations.
