Synopsis "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (in English)"
2018 Reprint of 1922 Edition. First published in 1916, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is Joyce's first novel. It is a Künstlerroman, or Artist's Novel in a modernist style, as it traces the religious and intellectual awakening of young Stephen Dedalus, a fictional alter ego of Joyce and an allusion to Daedalus, the consummate craftsman of Greek mythology. Stephen questions and rebels against the Catholic and Irish conventions under which he has grown, culminating in his self-exile from Ireland to Europe. The work uses techniques that Joyce developed more fully in Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939).Review"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is in fact the gestation of a soul." -Richard Ellmann "One believes in Stephen Dedalus as one believes in few characters in fiction." -H. G. Wells "[Mr. Joyce is] concerned at all costs to reveal the flickerings of that innermost flame which flashes its myriad message through the brain, he disregards with complete courage whatever seems to him adventitious, though it be probability or coherence or any other of the handrails to which we cling for support when we set our imaginations free." -Virginia Woolf "[A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man will] remain a permanent part of English literature." -Ezra Pound
