John Stanislaus Joyce (17 December 1884 – 16 June 1955) was an Irish teacher, scholar, diarist and writer who lived for many years in Trieste.
Born in County Dublin, Stanislaus was considered a "whetstone" by his more famous brother, who shared his ideas and his books with him.
[citation needed] Arrested as a subversive on 28 December 1914, at the beginning of World War I, he was interned by the Austrians at Katzenau, near Linz.
Due to his anti-Fascist views, Stanislaus moved to Florence sometime in 1941, where he may have been protected from the Germans by various wealthy Italian and American families.
Of his brother, Stanislaus wrote, It seems to me little short of a miracle that anyone should have striven to cultivate poetry or cared to get in touch with the current of European thought while living in a household such as ours, typical as it was of the squalor of a drunken generation.
