Talk:Lucia Joyce

citizenship
Which citizenship(s) did she hold? Nietzsche 2 (talk) 14:43, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

British. She was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire but both parents were British citizens (and remained so all their lives -- Joyce would never take citizenship of what he called the 'Free-Fire State', appalled by its violence when a train carrying Nora and the children came under fire during the Civil War, and he chose to remain British and not become an Irish neutral even when the Nazis occupied France in 1940). Jim and Nora arranged to marry legally in London in 1931, having established legal 'permanent domicile in England' at 28b Campden Grove, Kensington, London W8 (Ellmann 1982 p.637), mainly to secure Giorgio's and Lucia's rights. Lucia was able to spend the last 30 years of her life at St Andrews Northampton, where I happen to know the staff became very fond of her. But it's a bit thick for the article to repeat some catchpenny biographer's claim that Lucia somehow wasn't really suffering from schizophrenia. She was.

No mention of the burned letters?
What about the letters written by Lucia which were burned by Stephen J. Joyce? Gronky (talk) 11:47, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Or how about, no mention of her being refused writing materials whilst in the asylum. Someone didn't want her writing anything. Great and talented artists, but not very nice people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.31.29.80 (talk) 00:07, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * User:173.31.29.80, do you have any evidence at all that Lucia was deprived of writing materials?


 * Your other acid remarks are presented as bitchy gossip rather than anything substantive guided by reliable evidence, and thus do not belong on this talk page ("Someone didn't want her writing anything. Great and talented artists, but not very nice people.") — O'Dea  (talk) 15:56, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

A spelling
"Sophia Ginzburg" should be changed to "Sophia Ginsburg". Name checked from external source. In edits it is spelled correctly but not in published version... anyone know what is is going on?4.14.7.170 (talk) 14:55, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Manumission of the mentally ill from the Asylum? 1982?
She was interned for her schizo-affective disorder until 1982? By POA? By her own will? And when was she on her own recognizance to say she wanted to live in a hospital until she died? Curious. Because in the USA we have laws against this. Way before 1982... Any one know the story? 47.26.34.24 (talk) 12:19, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
