«A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man» is James Joyce's bildungsroman, published by William Collins in paperback (304 pages, in English).
Stephen Dedalus grows up in early twentieth-century Dublin; the novel follows his intellectual and sexual awakening, his conflict with the Catholic faith, his rejection of family and national expectations, and his artistic vocation. The prose reflects that evolution, combining realism with formal experimentation in a narrative about the formation of an individual consciousness.
The original work was published in 1916. This 2012 edition belongs to the Collins Classics collection.
For readers of Irish literary classics, including students of the modernist novel and of James Joyce.
James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was an Irish novelist, poet, and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist movement and is regarded among the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) is a landmark in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, particularly stream of consciousness. His other well-known works include the short-story collection Dubliners (1914) and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include two books of poetry, a play, correspondence, and occasional journalism.
