Lucia Joyce


 

Lucia Joyce, daughter of Irish writer James Joyce, was born in Trieste in 1907, speaking Italian as her first language. She studied dance while she was a teenager, and became locally famous. She started to behave strangely in 1930, and in 1934, Carl Jung took her in as a patient. Soon after, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia at a Burghölz psychiatric clinic in Zurich. She died in a mental hospital in Northampton, England, in 1982.
